If you have just been arrested for DWI you have probably just spent the worst night of your life. You have been subjected to a battery of roadside gymnastics, handcuffed, humiliated and embarrassed. You have wondered whether your name will be in the paper. You have wondered whether you will be fired when your boss finds out about this. You may have had to call a loved one to pick you up at the police station in the middle of the night.
The next critical decision you have to make is whether to get a DWI defense lawyer. The United States Supreme Court has noted repeatedly that misdemeanants who have counsel tend to fare better than those who do not. In Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 35-36 (1972) the Court found that misdemeanants with attorneys are five times more likely to have charges dismissed as misdemeanants without counsel.
