Should I Fight MY DWI CASE or PLEA Guilty?
Neither Hunter of I will know whether you should fight you DWI case or plea guilty the first time we meet. The reason is that, at that time, we do not have all the information needed to advise you on how to handle your case. When you hire us, we will begin the “discovery process” with the State. This is the legal process that allows us to obtain all the evidence the State has and intends to us against you. The evidence may include; police reports, witness statements, videos, test results, hospital records, your criminal history, etc.
The process for obtaining this information usually takes a few months. After we receive the discovery from the State we will schedule a video/case review session with your. At this session we will watch the videos, go over the police reports and witness statements and review all other evidence. During this session we look for legal and factual defenses to your criminal case.
After we review the evidence, we will give you our legal opinion as to the outcome or your case. We will tell you the likelihood of success should we set your case for trial and the possible ramifications should you be found guilty after a trial. In addition, we will discuss the State’s plea bargain offer and give you our opinion as to whether it is a fair offer based on our experience.
Ultimately, it is the client’s decision on whether to plea guilty or set his/her DWI case for trial. There are a variety of reasons people set a DWI case for trial. The best reason is that YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT GUILTY. There is not better reason that that. Another reason may be that even though you think you were guilty, we believe that State may have a difficult time proving you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is just as good a reason. Also, we may discover that the State may have evidence of witness problems that could prevent them from prosecuting you.
There are many reasons why clients set their case for trial. It may just come down to the fact you don’t want to regret NOT fighting 5 or ten years from now when you then have a permanent criminal record that cannot be erased.
Our job is to review all the evidence and explain your options so that you can make the best, informed decision you can for your life and future.
