If you are charged with a DWI, otherwise known as driving while intoxicated, you should consider hiring a DWI lawyer to represent you. Although it is possible to go through the DWI process alone or with a court-appointed lawyer, having an experienced DWI lawyer on your side, like the ones at Weingast Law in Hartford, CT, can be a tremendous benefit to your case.

Here are a few of the many benefits of hiring a DWI lawyer to represent you:   

Quicker & Less Expensive Bail

Without help after your DWI arrest, you may have to sit in jail for a long time waiting for the judge to set your bail amount. Since a DWI lawyer works with the judge to quickly provide relevant information, such as character references who can vouch for you, the judge will set bail quicker than normal. This additional information could lower the final amount of your bail.    

Preparation For Court Will Be Evident 

Your DWI lawyer will school you in the dos and don’ts of court. You’ll know everything from the proper dress code to how you should formally address the judge. Whether you are at your arraignment or trial, knowing how the professions act in court will be a huge benefit to your case, as it could positively affect the outcome.  

Reduced Or Eliminated Criminal Charges

Most importantly, an experienced DWI lawyer knows the best ways to reduce or eliminate your DWI charges. By using case law and the rules of evidence, your attorney may successfully argue your DWI away before you even have to step foot in court. Even if the charges are not dropped altogether, your lawyer may get you a reduced penalty, such as community service instead of jail time.

As a former Hartford Chief Prosecutor, Attorney Jeremy Weingast has the knowledge and experience to provide you with the best possible outcome for your DWI. Don’t face these charges alone. Contact Weingast Law at (860) 233-1440, or visit the website to set up your initial consultation today.
