response time, help to retain valuable evidence in your
case, and develop solid legal strategies for your

According
to Louisiana law, if you are 21 years or older and test
with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or
more, or are under 21 with a 0.02% BAC, you are
considered legally intoxicated. A DUI or DWI charge entails
two separate and important actions, 1) a civil action
that involves your driving privileges and 2) a
misdemeanor or felony criminal action depending on the
charges. D.W.I. is what the law refers to as an
enhanceable offense, meaning the potential penalties and
sentences grow more severe with each subsequent arrest.
In addition to losing your license, your vehicle may be
confiscated and sold, and you may be subject to heavy
fines, high insurance premiums and substantial jail
time.
Defense
of a DWI and DUI charge can be quite challenging since there
are witnesses (the police) and scientific evidence (BAC
tests) that will be used against you. The police
officers that made the arrest have likely testified in
many D.W.I. trials and know exactly what to say. You
need an
DWI Attorney at Babcock Law Firm with the
knowledge and experience to examine these officers
aggressively to bring out any inconsistencies or sloppy
police work that could result in a not guilty verdict
for you At Babcock Law Firm we will fight the formidable
odds in a DUI or DWI case by preparing a solid defense
based on:
- analyzing
the facts of your case;
- exploring
other reasons that may have led to your initial stop
by police including any health, weather, or road
conditions;
- whether
proper procedures were followed in stopping, testing
and charging you;
- maneuvering
through the complicated maze of procedural,
evidentiary, constitutional and administrative
issues; and
- strategies
to minimize the penalties and potential sentence.
Whether
you choose to stand trial or enter a plea bargain will
be an important decision that affects your life and your
future. While it is ultimately your decision, our
attorneys will ensure that you thoroughly understand
your options and the implications of your choices. Drunk
driving laws are very complex and the punishments harsh
and serious. You need the support of a legal team who is
experienced with Louisiana laws, procedures, evidence
and sentencing.
