Arrested For DWI, What To Do Next?
First, make arrangements to get out of jail. My phones are answered around the clock each day of the year and my live answering service can always contact me or my staff. I answer my cell phones 24 hours a day unless I am conducting a courtroom hearing (or in the shower at home). I have attorneys on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist in getting you out of jail (if I am unavailable). I have Bail Bond businesses that treat my clients with respect and courtesy that remain on call around the clock. I personally prefer my clients to be released on a Surety Bond. A Personal Recognizance bond requires the person to be under supervision and some of the conditions can cause a hardship on the client.
Second, call a qualified DWI attorney as soon as possible. It is not unusual for you to have made a quick decision in employing an attorney to assist you in getting out of jail. This is understandable because no one thinks they are going to be arrested for DWI when they are not intoxicated. While in a jail cell you are not in the best situation to deal with the stressful decision you are making. You just want out of jail. The good news is that you can correct your situation by bringing in an attorney who is qualified to handle your case. The courts should allow a qualified attorney to substitute in on your case to represent you in this complex situation.
Third, hire me within 15 days of the arrest so I can appeal any driver’s license suspension you have received. I always appeal the upcoming suspension - if you don’t fight, the license will be suspended. By filing the appeal, the suspension is stopped and cannot proceed until we have a revocation hearing in front of an administrative law judge. The suspension hearing is a great opportunity to have a first shot at the testifying officer. I can lock in mistakes in their performance as well as mistakes in their testimony
**It is very important if you have been arrested for DWI that you act within the first 15 DAYS. A request for an ALR (Automatic Drivers License Revocation) hearing needs to be arranged or you risk losing your license.
