Getting accused of a DWI is serious, and you could potentially lose your license over the incident. Your quality of life can go down drastically if you are accused of this crime, but there are a few things you can do to make the process easier for yourself.

Write All the Details Down

If you plan on fighting these accusations, then you need to be able to remember everything. Do not trust that you will simply remember everything. Instead, write down all the information you can. Every detail needs to be recalled, including where you were stopped, what tests were administered and what reason the officer gave you for pulling you over.

Get Witnesses

Eyewitnesses are a crucial resource in court. If you have any friends or family members who can attest that you did not drink any alcohol the night you were pulled over, then it can do a lot for your case.

Hire a Lawyer

Look into lawyers in your area to help you out with your case. You will want to go with a firm that is experienced and trained in DWI-related cases. Doing your research to find an attorney you trust is going to put you in a much better position to come out okay.

With the proper actions, you will not have to stress too much about your DWI. Contact the expert DWI attorneys at Barrett & Howell Attorneys at Law today for assistance.
