Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)

Jefferson City DWI Attorneys

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is an area of criminal law that continues to evolve as a result of the continuing changes made each year by the Missouri General Assembly. Generally, a person arrested for a DWI not only risks the loss of a driver’s license through a suspension or revocation by the Missouri Department of Revenue but faces serving time in jail or prison as a result of a DWI guilty plea or conviction. You need to hire a DWI / DUI lawyer with extensive experience handling driving while intoxicated (DWI) cases.

DWI/DUI Arrests and the Facts that Matter

As mentioned above, DWI laws are continually changing and the outcome often depends on the unique circumstances of the particular arrest. For example, how did the traffic stop for DWI by the officer occur? Was the vehicle being driven at the time of the DWI stop? How did the officer attempt to determine whether a person was intoxicated in making an arrest for DWI? Did the person make any statements to the officer that he or she had been drinking at the time of the arrest for driving while intoxicated? Did the officer read the person his or her Miranda rights during the DWI arrest? How was the chemical analysis of a person’s breath or blood performed to determine the level of alcohol concentration in the body? What DWI field sobriety tests were administered and how did the person perform? What observations did the officer make in determining whether to arrest a person for driving while intoxicated? As these questions illustrate, there are numerous facts and details that must be determined in order to evaluate the strength or weakness of a DWI case to determine how to proceed.
