Hiring A DWI Officer Is The Wisest Thing To Do
For DWI Convicts

What is a DWI offence?
  1. Driving while intoxicated is a serious offense in
    most countries. It is like risking your life and
    also others who are with you in the car and also
    in the roads.
  2. Houston is very strict when it comes to DWI
    offenses. Records show that the number of DWI
    cases has gone over 100,000 in the last year.
  3. Anyone who is caught under the influence of
    alcohol while driving at any point of time in the
    day or night, he/she will be immediately arrested
    and their license taken away. A case will be set
    up to prove the charges and once they are proved,
    stern actions will be taken against the convict.
    The only way to avoid such harsh punishments is
    by hiring a DWI lawyer.

Intoxication Tests Performed
  1. After a person is arrested for a DWI offense,
    several tests are performed in order to check the
    intoxication level.
  2. BAC or Breath Alcohol Content is one of the
    primary tests that are done with the help of a
    breathalyzer. Intoxilyzer 5000 is a very advanced
    tool that helps to perform this test. It tests
    the alcohol content in the blood. There are
    different rules for the alcohol content and
    depending on the test results, the convict will
    be punished.
  3. A DWI Houston lawyer first checks if the
    breathalyzer that was used to perform the test is
    in proper working condition or not. There have
    been many cases when a convict was not in a
    drunken condition, but was arrested because the
    police suspected that the person was drunk. And,
    the breathalyzer was faulty and proved that the
    convict was guilty. To avoid such confusions and
    unnecessary harassments, it is important for the
    lawyer to make sure that the tool with which the
    test is performed is okay to test or not.
  4. Any BAC level that is over 0.9 is subject to
    punishable offense with first degree. If the
    level goes over 0.12, then it becomes a second
    degree offense and the punishments will be
    harsher.

Hiring A DWI Lawyer
  1. The first call of action for a person who has
    been arrested for a DWI offense is to contact a
    reputed and experienced DWI lawyer.
  2. The second call of action is not to reveal
    anything to the arresting officer. A rule of
    thumb you should keep shut even if you are forced
    to say something. There are many arresting
    officers who try to get the better out of the
    convict by scaring them about the possible
    punishments and the fine they would have to pay
    once the test results are out.
  3. Once the lawyer arrives, it is important to say
    each and everything that happened in detail. This
    will help him to set the case up quickly and also
    take relevant actions. His first job will be to
    get your license back and then move on to the
    test results and punishments that have been
    charged against you.
