No matter the offense, a criminal conviction will have long lasting backlash. The conviction shows up on background checks, can effect a professional license, student financial aid and beyond. A DWI / OVI is one of the more common charges and the consequences of conviction are harsh, whether it’s a person’s first time or not. The fines are large and include jail time. An experienced criminal defense attorney will study the specifics of the case and may pursue a Motion to Dismiss based on findings. There are legal rights and rules that are often buried that the best attorney can uncover. Was the stop legal? Was there a search that was done illegally? Was their criminal intent or justification? Entrapment? The list is long.
You are not guilty and you do not have a criminal conviction even though you were arrested and charged with a criminal offense. The prosecution needs to prove that you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, at trial, for you to be convicted. This is an incredible burden for them to assemble. This is why you need an experienced criminal defense attorney.
