The Top Reasons You Need An Attorney For A DWI Charge

The Top Reasons You Need An Attorney For A DWI ChargeLong Island is home to more than 7.7 million people, many of whom rely on their vehicles to get them to and from their jobs as well as to other locations throughout their days. But when you are facing a DWI charge, it’s possible that you could end up losing the ability to drive anywhere. A DWI conviction can lead to numerous issues including jail time, heavy fines, and a loss of your driver’s license. Getting the proper defense for these charges is important, and at Naiburg, Obedin, and Weissman we believe that knowing why you need to find a good attorney is the first step towards getting one.

With that in mind, here’s a look at some of the key reasons you need to find a good DWI lawyer for your case.

  • Results – The most obvious reason is simply that an attorney will get you better results than you could get for yourself. It’s tempting to just plea bargain out and avoid court, but the reality is that speaking with a lawyer first is a good idea. You may have options you didn’t know about, and an attorney could at the very least help negotiate a better outcome for you – potentially even helping you keep your license on a tentative level.
  • Stress – Any criminal charges can bring a tremendous amount of stress with them. Knowing that you have a professional on your side is a good way to help reduce that level of stress. While you’ll still likely end up worrying about what will happen, the fact is that with a lawyer on your side you’ll be able to relax to some degree – at least in knowing that you don’t’ have to handle the process on your own.
  • Knowledge – While there’s no way to know exactly what will happen in your case since every single case will be different, an attorney can tell you what to expect from your charges and what may occur. Just having a good idea as to what’s coming may make it easier to cope with the future.

There are other reasons to find a good lawyer, but the three listed above are some of the key points that help make it clear that finding a legal professional for your case is a good idea.
