DUI / DWI
Driving under the influence (DUI) or Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is one of the most commonly committed crimes in the United States. Unfortunately, because this crime is so common, many people make the mistake of taking their DUI/DWI arrests lightly instead of seeking appropriate legal representation. If you have been charged with DUI, you need answers fast!
