Why in the first 10 days after an OWI arrest is it important to see an attorney? Why are the first 10 days so important? What will I lose if I wait till day 11?

OWI law is the most complicated and therefore misunderstood area of criminal law by both the public and practicing attorneys, which means that justice is often not served due to wrongful convictions and punishment greater than that required by law.

If you have been charged with OWI, it is important that you see an attorney within the first ten days after your arrest. IMPORTANT RIGHTS WILL BE LOST if you do not take appropriate action within those first ten days. If you have scheduled an initial consultation at my office, please bring with you a copy of any documents you received from the police officer, the Department of Transportation, and the Court.

OWI is a serious problem and when the police arrest you for OWI or OUI the criminal system can be a puzzle. What do you say and to who? Who do you have to talk to? When should you not talk to anyone? Was it only a field sobriety test that the police officer performed? If you're innocent you need to prove it or make it so they can't prove otherwise. Even if you want to plead guilty you should get the same treatment someone in your position receives. OWI-1sts, OWI-2nd's and others are what we handle. No one should have to go through an OWI prosectution alone. Call me and I'll help you find an attorney for less than the $2,500.00 everyone else is charging.
