Despite our best efforts, we all make mistakes—and sometimes those mistakes lead to DWIs or DUIs. In the wake of such charges, navigating your way through the legal system can be tough, and that's where the attorneys at Pater, Pater & Halverson Co. can help.

What are the benefits of hiring a reputable DUI/DWI lawyer? Money is a significant consideration, because when subjects represent themselves, they usually end up being shackled with exorbitant fines. They also risk going to jail, because they don't know how to properly defend themselves. An attorney can negotiate plea deals and sort out any technicalities; they can also subpoena police reports or other documents that might be beneficial to the client.

Depending on the circumstances of the case, a lawyer can also generally see to it that charges are eventually expunged from a client's record. And if the client is a first time offender, an attorney can almost always get the verdict reduced to "reckless driving," which is a much lesser offense. 

Moreover, an attorney can determine whether or not an officer had cause to pull a client over in the first place. In some cases, breathalyzer tests are incorrectly or unjustly administered, so if there is any question of your guilt or innocence, a good lawyer will be able to resolve it.
