"Almost anyone can be charged with a DWI / DUI. Good, hardworking people sometimes find themselves facing the system alone."

More than one and a half million people nationwide are charged with DWI / DUI annually. Most of these people are good, law-abiding citizens who simply had a few drinks with dinner and on the way home were stopped by the police for a minor traffic violation (i.e. speeding, no lights, no turn signal). They were questioned ("Have you been drinking tonight?"), told to submit to a series of field sobriety exercises (which are voluntary not mandatory), placed under arrest, and given a seemingly no-win chance of submitting or not submitting to a breath or blood alcohol test. Then it is off to jail.

 "Never rely on a bondsman or "somebody at the jail" to direct you to a competent DWI / DUI defense attorney. Any lawyer who claims he "knows the judge" or guarantees a result is not to be trusted."

Most people are totally shocked and confused with the experience of being arrested for DWI / DUI. Many experience feelings of guilt and shame. and that their case is hopeless. They just want to plead guilty and "take their medicine."

 "A good DWI / DUI defense lawyer personally interviews his prospective clients. If you don't meet your DWI / DUI defense attorney until you get to court, DO NOT expect to win your case. DO expect to be found guilty as charged."

Before reaching the decision of whether to plead guilty or defend a case, there are a few things anyone facing this decision should consider.

A DWI / DUI conviction is a criminal conviction that remains on one’s criminal record forever. The "costs" of a conviction include but are not limited to:

• Increased automobile insurance costs, five years in most cases;
• Job opportunity implications - many employers are now denying employment to persons with alcohol related driving convictions;
• Restricted or NO driving privileges;
• Facing multiple offense sanctions if convicted again;
• If a college student, disciplinary action by the school.

Placing a monetary value on the above factors depends on each person's particular circumstances, but the decision to defend a case or plead guilty should only be reached after careful evaluation of all the potential consequences of a conviction.

 "A DWI /  DUI may be successfully defended. Put yourself in the best position possible. Call me, Johnny Houston, today."
