Some drivers are arrested and treated unfairly. Amanda Webb - DWI Lawyer will fight aggressively for your freedom. You deserve nothing less than to be treated fairly.

What you should know about the prosecutor

The District Attorney prosecutes these types of cases all day. He knows–and is willing to use against you–all of the fine legal points that are available to him. The law says that he only needs to prove that after drinking you were not able to drive your car safely or that your blood alcohol exceeded a certain limit.

That sounds pretty cut and dry, but it's not quite as simple as that. You see, if challenged, the DA also has to show that the arresting officer made the arrest properly, that you were properly advised of your rights, that the equipment he used to test you was working accurately, and even that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it. If he gets information that may prove you innocent, an attorney can make him give you that information also.
