The best dwi lawyer will investigate whether the following elements are present so as to inform his client of the severity of criminal penalties he or she can expect:
(1) Whether the client was underage when intoxicated at the time of the DUI accident;
(2) Whether the offense involved a car crash in which another individual was killed or injured;
(3) Whether any property damage resulted from the DUI violation and accident;
(4) Whether the client was driving recklessly or engaged in another dangerous moving violation when driving under the influence;
(5) Whether the client had a child in the vehicle;
(6) Whether the client was driving a commercial vehicle when driving under the influence; and
To ascertain what types of criminal penalties might be imposed, DUI DWI lawyers will also check to see whether the client has prior DUI violations.
