If you get arrested for operating while intoxicated (OWI), you could face steep penalties with long-term repercussions. Having an OWI on your driving record can forever label you as a high-risk driver, creating a lifelong burden of high insurance premiums. Or, depending on the circumstances of your drunk driving arrest, an OWI can lead to a felony charge, limiting your hiring potential. With so much at stake, you cannot afford to try defending yourself on your own. 

An OWI lawyer, which is the same as a DUI lawyer, specializes in the DUI laws specific to your state. These attorneys understand DUI testing procedures, allowing them to identify any discrepancies or carelessly collected DWI evidence while building your defense. OWI attorneys are also familiar with the presiding courts, giving them invaluable insight on how certain judges rule on DUI cases. Their expertise can possibly downgrade your DUI charge to reckless driving, saving you money, possible jail time and even reducing the length of your driving suspension.
