Hiring an experienced attorney always has its benefits -- experience with the court system, knowledge of plea bargain details, the ability to navigate complex administration procedures, and help prevent loss of driving privileges. It's especially important if you have been charged with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI/DUI) . An experienced DWI attorney may offer advice or counsel that could affect the severity of your sentence. Also keep in mind that if your BAC was between .08 and .11 (and there may be some question as to whether the reading was accurate) conviction is less of a certainty and a DWI attorney may be able to better plea bargain your case.
At Patrick McLaughlin Esq, I concentrate on defending drunk driving charges, speeding tickets, and traffic infractions in Municipal, District, and Superior Courts in all counties of Western New York. I work hard for every client in order to obtain the best possible results. I have obtained either a dismissal or a reduction in 99% of my traffic cases. My objective is to:
Receive a dismissal before the trial begins, plea to a reduced charge, or obtain an acceptable result at trial
Allow the defendant to keep their driving privileges.
Minimize the financial burden of a DWI.
Driving under the influence drugs or alcohol charges have serious consequences, but an arrest does not always mean a conviction with the right attorney on your side.
Remember that an attorney that defends DUI / DWI exclusively knows the court system and how to best represent your individual case in a court of law.
Seek out attorneys that focus on defending DUI/DWI cases.
Schedule an initial consultation with DUI attorney; this is often free of charge and will help you decide if this is the right person for you.
Ask the DUI attorney for the up front and total cost for representation. Ask if there is anything else that may occur during the court hearing that would increase the price of representation? Ask about credit, financing and payment options.
