Should I Plea Guilty or Set My Case for Trial?
“Should I plea guilty or set my case for trial?” is the most common question we get from people who come in for an initial consultation. The answer is, “we don’t know yet.” If any attorney tells you to plea guilty or set your case for trial the first time you meet that attorney, you should run, not walk, out of his/her office. The truth is that NO ATTORNEY can tell you what you should do the first time he/she meets you about your case. The reason is that, at that time, an attorney has not seen a police report, watched the video, talked to the State, or reviewed all the evidence in your case.
As DWI attorneys, Hunter and I ALWAYS review the State’s case against you BEFORE we talk to you about the options of your case. We look for factual and legal ways to defend you, problems with the State’s case or witnesses, and many other factors prior to advising our clients on have to handle their cases.
A DWI conviction is a very serious matter that will remain on your record for the rest of your life. There is no 5, 10 or 20 year rule that allows a DWI to be removed from your record. In addition, DWI caries other consequences such as loss of job and educational opportunities, increased insurance rates, etc. Because of these factors and many others, Hunter and I will not recommend a course of action until we have reviewed our client’s entire case and discussed all options with that client. This process usually takes a few months. We have had people tell us that a prior attorney told them how to handle their DWI case before the attorney ever watched the arrest video. This WILL NOT happen to our clients.
How do our clients decide whether to plea guilty or set their case for trial?
