Have you Been Charged with DWI in Louisiana?
Being charged with DWI (driving while intoxicated) in Louisiana is a serious matter. A defendant’s finances, reputation, and freedom can be at stake. Fortunately, the help of a competent DWI attorney can make the always complicated process manageable, and skilled legal counsel is essential to protect your rights and limit legal penalties or even avoid them altogether in some cases.
What Do I Do if I Get Arrested for a DUI?
The answer is simple: keep calm and contact an attorney as soon as possible. While being pulled over and arrested, be polite, respectful, and compliant but say as little as possible. While you cannot refuse a breathalyzer, urine, or blood test without surrendering your right to a driver’s license, it is always your right to refuse to speak to an officer or answer their questions. “Anything you say can and will be used against you” is the literal legal truth. It is always best to avoid speaking to police officers until you have an attorney present to advise you.
