What Kind of Lawyer Do I Need For My DWI Case?
First and foremost, you must be aware that, even if the circumstances of your case appear hopeless to you, this does not mean that you cannot successfully defend yourself against a New Hampshire DWI charge, particularly if you are represented by an experienced and knowledgeable Nashua New Hampshire DWI lawyer. The State of New Hampshire is tasked with the burden of proving each, single element of the charge against you beyond a reasonable doubt. A skilled DWI attorney can often uncover methods of preventing the prosecution from meeting this burden of obligation.
Issues of constitutionality can often be raised that may prevent the state from introducing the evidence that would be required to convict you. For example, law enforcement officials may not have followed federal or state regulations or statutes. If the prosecution’s case is sufficiently weakened, then they will be unable to prove your guilt.
Similarly, even if your NH DWI lawyer cannot have the charges against you dismissed altogether, there is a significant chance that he or she can negotiate a reduction of the original charges or successfully secure a plea bargain that would be considerably less severe than if you were convicted of the original DWI charge. For example, potential jail sentences can be reduced in length or avoided altogether. It will be in your best interests to consult with an attorney; however, it is equally imperative to ensure that you choose a lawyer who specializes in DWI cases.
In New Hampshire, some police departments have non-attorney prosecutors. Nashua police use both. DWI law has become increasingly complex. State prosecutors already struggle within an overburdened legal system, and the necessity of appearing at DWI trials and ALS hearings becomes overwhelming, particularly for smaller departments. An experienced New Hampshire DWI attorney can utilize the complexity of DWI law and the overworked conditions of the judicial system to the benefit of their clients. For example, it is not uncommon for a DWI lawyer to be able to persuade the prosecution to withdraw administrative license suspension, which could spare you the difficulties associated with losing your driving privileges.
