When faced with an arrest on suspicion of DWI, it’s extremely important to your future to have competent, experienced DWI attorneys to represent you. A person convicted of DWI could face prison, and loss of driving privileges for years.
It is up to the state to prove you were driving under the influence, but people are often made to feel it is their responsibility to prove their innocence. Someone that tries to represent their self in court might be simply run over by the legal system – and the deck is clearly stacked in favor of the state. Greg Gouner knows how the system works in Louisiana, and has seen successful resolutions to many DWI cases, sometimes yielding better results than were expected.
