OWI / IMPAIRED

OWI / IMPAIRED

In a concerted effort to reduce drunk driving, all states and most local counties have imposed strict laws against operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). If you are arrested and charged with drunk driving or driving under the influence (IMPAIRED), the consequences can be severe; you may lose your driver’s license, pay heavy fines, have your vehicle impounded and even receive a jail sentence. OWI convictions remain on your permanent criminal record and as a result, may interfere with your livelihood, causing you to lose your job or hinder future employment opportunities. With such high stakes, it is crucial that you contact a qualified OWI/IMPAIRED defense attorney as soon as you are arrested for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated.

Our law firm understands the anxiety and fear one feels after being arrested for drunk driving, and we will diligently represent you to ensure the best possible resolution for your case. We have a thorough understanding of sobriety tests and law enforcement protocol which can be part of an effective and comprehensive defense against the OWI charges you face. During our initial consultation with you, we will determine if there was police error, field sobriety test errors, inaccuracies, failure to follow proper protocol or administrative errors which may prove your innocence or lead to the dismissal of charges by the prosecution.

OWI cases are complex and the laws which govern them vary dramatically depending upon the state or municipality in which the charges are filed. Our attorneys are well versed in all local and state-wide OWI regulations and have experience interacting with police departments, prosecutors and the department of motor vehicles. If you’ve been arrested for OWI or IMPAIRED driving, contact our law firm today to speak with one of our knowledgeable attorneys who will fight on your behalf to ensure your OWI arrest does not turn into a conviction.
