What to do After a DUI Arrest
You have been arrested for drunk driving.... Now what? It is important to remember that you have a right to remain silent and to speak with a lawyer right away. Talking to the police without a lawyer present WILL NOT help your case. The police want you to talk to them so you will say something incriminating or confusing, enabling them to damage your credibility to a jury, should your case go to trial. Attorney John J. Finckbeiner, Jr. will stand by your side and protect your interests.
We handle cases involving all types of alcohol offenses, including:
- First or second offense DWI (misdemeanor)
- Third offense or subsequent offense DWI (felony DWI)
- Underage DWI (underage drivers with a BAC of .02 or higher)
- Other DWI offenses
If you have been arrested for DUI/DWI in Louisiana, there are options. Our law firm thoroughly investigates the circumstances surrounding your DWI/DUI arrest. Was there reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop? Were field sobriety tests performed accurately? What BAC tests were taken (breath test, blood test or urine test)? Was the breathalyzer calibrated correctly? Was there probable cause for the arrest? We work hard to expose deficiencies in the case against you and negotiate with the prosecution to obtain a more favorable result.
