Is an attorney recommended for a DWAI charge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
Although DWAI is not a California charge, my advise is that if you were charged with ANY crime where a conviction goes on your record that is: You become a convicted CRIMINAL, where you have to pay money to the State or do jail time, or do community labor, and they can take your driver's license and they require you to be on probation for any period of time where if you screw up you can do MORE JAIL TIME, then YOU NEED A LAWYER. If you don't know all the issues in any case, you need someone who has the education, training and experience to make sure you make decisions that are in your own BEST INTEREST. That is never the cop or the prosecutor.

Does a weekend count as 3 days served in jail?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Mark Rosenfeld
Maybe. Some judges will give good time work time credit for a weekend. Need more information to answer the question. If you are looking for credit for a 2nd time DUI with 96 hours of jail... you must do the actual time, 96 hours.

You need to speak to a DUI defense attorney, if you haven't done anything, your license may be suspended and bench warrant is outstanding. A lawyer can help you figure out what you need to do, determine whether your license is suspended and what can be done to defend your case and get you lawfully driving.
