South Louisiana has a reputation for having a good time, wild nights, and drive-up daiquiri shops. As a result, drunk driving is one of the most prosecuted crimes in Louisiana, and if you are charged with driving while intoxicated, you should speak with an experienced DWI lawyer as soon as possible. Trying to handle DWI charges by yourself or with an inexperienced attorney can have devastating results to your long-term record and impact future career opportunities. We at Becnel Law have successfully handled hundreds of DWI cases throughout the River Parishes and Southern Louisiana. A careful review of each case is implemented and as we craft a strong legal defense.
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, seeking a lawyer is in your best interest. Many people on their first offense do not know what to do and might think pleading guilty is the best option. A conviction of drunk driving may result in:
– Thousands of Dollars in Fines
– Jail Time
– Suspended License
– A Criminal Record
– Skyrocket Auto Insurance
– Employment Discrimination
Avoiding jail time is a huge possibility if you have the right lawyer. Knowing your rights and exactly what happen can help your case. We will go over all potential consequences and the pros and cons of each. If this is your first time being charged with a DWI there is a good chance you could be in the diversion program. Once the program is complete, the case is dismissed. It is very important to go over the details of the night of your arrest.
