Being charged with DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) is not something that you may want associated with your name or on your criminal and motor vehicle permanent record. However, if you have been arrested and have pending charges against you, hiring a DWI Attorney can be the most important thing you can do to protect your reputation.

He knows what your legal rights are and therefore, can guide you properly to lesser charges, fines, penalties; avoiding jail time and even closing or dismissing the case entirely. 

There are several reasons why hiring a DWI attorney is beneficial for you. 

Expertise in the Field

An attorney like, Edward T. McCormack, who specializes in DWI law knows and understands the law implicitly. He can tell, inform or advise you about:

• lesser pleas and agreements
• how to avoid or minimize jail or prison time
• searches and seizures
• unconstitutional interrogation and practices
• improper  breathalyzer procedures both at the scene and barracks

Most people are not aware of such laws and do not have the information in detail. Having an attorney supporting you can provide better insights, protections and help you make better decisions.

Knowledge of Dismissing the DWI Charges

Attorneys who work with clients convicted for DWI know the laws inside and out. They have a lot of knowledge and experience as they deal with such cases every day. They even know how to get a case thrown out for improper procedural practices or performing the breathalyzer tests without informing the driver that he has a right to talk to an attorney before agreeing to the testing. In many cases, there may be legal or any technical issues with the methods employed by the police in evidence collection. A skilled attorney, like Edward T. McCormack, recognizes nuances to help his clients. 

Help Keep Your Record Clean

No matter if it is your first or a multiple DWI, you have the risk of losing your license or getting it suspended. A wise attorney specialized in this particular field can help you.  An attorney, like Edward T. Mc Cormack will protect you in local court, County Court and with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
