Choosing the wrong DWI attorney can cause you years of heartache and financial strain.   You need to choose an attorney with a proven history of successfully defending DWI cases.  The Law Office of Sylvia Williams focuses on each client and tailors the defense to the specifics of your case.  The Law Office of Sylvia Williams knows that you are a human being with rights and understands that each case requires individual attention and care.

An aggressive firm like The Law Office of Sylvia Williams knows the intricate details involved in successfully defending a DWI case—details which other attorneys may be too busy to notice to or too inexperienced to discover.

Agreeing to field sobriety tests and breathalyzer exams is only providing the prosecution with evidence against you.  Don’t help them win their case against you!  The best thing to do if you’re pulled over and the police officer is questioning you about being intoxicated is to say nothing.  Be polite and courteous, but don’t volunteer information or think that you can talk your way out of it.  You can’t. 

Remember that everything you do is being videotaped by the police and can be used against you in court by the prosecution.  Invoke your right to an attorney the moment you realize the officer suspects you of driving while intoxicated.

Providing the police with a breathalyzer sample only provides the prosecution with more evidence to convict you.  Refusing the test does not make you appear more guilty and will not cause you to face harsher penalties.  It will affect your driver’s license, but The Law Office of Sylvia Williams will work to avoid any suspension at an ALR hearing.

The Administrative License Review (ALR) hearing is a proceeding before the Department of Transportation that is required in order to contest your driver’s license from being suspended after you have been arrested for DWI.  It is important that you be represented by an experienced attorney who can speak on your behalf and call attention to any evidentiary problems or procedural missteps taken by the arresting officer.
