DEFENSES TO A DWI CHARGE:
Do not assume that your DWI charge will automatically result in a conviction and loss of license. There are many ways to challenge and fight a DWI ticket. Initially, your lawyer must consider challenging the police officer's right to stop your car in the first place. You should also consider filing a motion to suppress the evidence attacking the officer's probable cause for making the arrest. Linwood DWI Attorney John W.
