DWI/DUI means "driving while intoxicated" or "driving while under the influence" and refers to the crime of drunk driving. This crime usually includes driving while abusing drugs and the operation of other kinds of motorized vehicles, such as boats. Drunk driving is defined by each state's criminal code.
- Baton Rouge
- Simmons & Associates:
There are two aspects of a DWI, the first concerns your driving privileges. A temporary license was issued to you when you were charged. You only have 15 days to request an administrative hearing. If you allow this time to pass without securing a hearing, your license will be suspended for a minimum of 90 days. The second aspect is the actual DWI which is a criminal offense that could result in a jail sentence and fines.
You should be mindful that you only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to protect your driving privileges. A suspension will affect the near future and could ultimately have far reaching affects in your life. Therefore, time is of the essence for you to seek legal advice. Failure to do so could be detrimental to your case. The court date that you are given by the officer at the time of arrest, or on your bond paperwork has nothing to do with your driving privileges. You are not automatically eligible for a hardship license at this point, and the court date will not secure you such.
Refusal of a Breathylizer or Field Sobriety test is your right. If you do not submit to these tests, you run the risk of having your license suspended for 180 days. However, if you do submit and fail, it will provide evidence to be used against you. You are only required to provide the officer with your identification, registration and proof of insurance, and you are only required to answer questions that establish your identity. You are not required to answer questions such as "How many drinks have you had tonight?".
If you are asked to take the breath - alcohol test, then you are under arrest for DWI. This means that the officer making the arrest has reasonable grounds to believe that you have been driving under the influence. There are exceptions to when you will not be allowed to refuse the test, if the officer has reasonable grounds to think you are driving under the influence and you have refused the test at least twice before on previous stops, or someone has been killed or seriously hurt as a result of an accident.
If you are pulled over for a suspicion of a DWI/DUI, provide the officer with your identification and required papers, politely refuse the tests, answer any questions that establish your identity, and if he chooses to arrest you, stay quiet. Hire an attorney immediately, and argue it in court.
Of course, the safest choice is always to not drink and drive!
Remember: TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! You MUST request a hearing within fifteen days of your arrest! Your first order of business after a DWI arrest is to secure legal representation!
- Francis Rougeou:
Jurisdiction is a court's power to hear and to decide cases. There are two types of jurisdiction. The two types are subject-matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction. Subject-matter jurisdiction is the power of a particular court to hear and to decide certain types of cases. Personal jurisdiction is the power that a court exercises over a particular person.
- Joseph Long:
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving while under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (DUI) is a serious offense. If anyone is injured by your actions, you may face serious criminal and even homicide charges.
If it's your first offense, and if no injury is involved, you may think the consequences may be as light as a fine and a suspended license or less. But make no mistake, prosecutors are doing everything possible to put even first-timers in jail these days. If you take the breath test and register .15 or higher, you have to do jail time if convicted.
Suspension or revocation of your license can last from 90 days to a year and a half, or perhaps even longer. The rules covering loss of license are too complicated to explain here. If you have questions, call us today.
Another consequence of DWI/DUI is the potential loss of your license. In Louisiana, if your blood alcohol content is more than .08%, the state requires the police officer to take your license immediately. If you refuse a breath test the officer will likewise take you license immediately, and your license is gone for six months. This can be reviewed, but you have to ask for a review immediately. In Louisiana you have 15 days from the date of arrest to request an administrative hearing in writing. If you miss the deadline, you will have no further chance of appeal.
- Miller, Lucius & Hampton:
Q: Do I have to take field sobriety tests if asked to do so by a police officer?
A: No. Field sobriety tests must be done (in order to be admissible) on a voluntary basis. The police officer is not allowed to force you to do them. Keep in mind that statements that you make as reasons for not voluntarily participating in field sobriety tests may be admissible at trial. Statements like "I couldn't do that even if I was sober" may prove to be as, if not more, harmful than failing the tests. If you do not wish to attempt the tests, you may simply decline the police officer's request that you voluntarily participate.
- Ivey Law Firm:
Face-to-Face contact and what the police officer is looking for
A. The first observation the officer will make is the manner in which the suspect exits his vehicle. I found, through experience, that a good sign of an impaired driver is where, as he attempts to exit his vehicle, he seems to search for the ground with his left foot, grasps the car door and door frame with his hands to help him exit, or leaves the vehicle in gear as he exits his vehicle.
B. Unless the officer is dealing with a driver whose intoxication symptoms are extreme or obvious, the first thing the driver will be asked for is his driver's license, proof of vehicle insurance, and vehicle registration. (Note that the driver is being asked to produce multiple documents. The reason behind this type of request is that alcoholic-beverage consumption impairs one's ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time.) In response to the officer's request, not only must the driver find and produce the correct documents, he must also remember what the officer has asked him to produce. Here, a police officer will be watching for the following mistakes which may be indicative of an impaired driver:
-the driver's response to the request is incomplete, in that he finds and produces only
his driver's license and registration, or some combination thereof;
-the driver produces expired documents;
-the driver repeatedly searches through a stack of papers looking for his insurance and/or registration but cannot find them, all the while the officer has seen the driver pass over the very documents he has requested;
-the driver produces the incorrect documents, such as handing over a credit card instead of his driver's license
-the driver has "butter fingers" in that he drops things
Additionally, the officer may interrupt the suspect-driver's document search with a question in order to see if, after answering the question, the driver has the presence of mind to return to the search for what the officer has asked. (Remember, in a DWI investigation, a main investigative tool is seeing how the suspect reacts and responds to having his attention divided. This concept is further explored in the field sobriety testing segment below.)
C. During this stage of the officer's investigation, it is likely he will detect, and make note
of the following:
-an odor of an alcoholic beverage;
-slurred, stuttering, or incoherent speech;
-swaying balance, or the driver's need to balance himself by leaning against his vehicle or other fixed object.
- Buddy Stockwell:
Despite the fact that persons have a right to privacy and do not have to give any statements to police, you would be surprised how many people voluntarily allow the police to search their vehicles, or give statements to police instead of remaining quiet and seeking the advice of an attorney. Instead, persons routinely and voluntarily fail to enforce their rights to privacy and prosecuting officers utilize information against the party in order to obtain a conviction.
- Greg Grouner:
Louisiana has a DWI cutoff of .08 grams of alcohol per blood or breath sample
(BAC).Ä This means that after typically three or more drinks (see chart) most
people are driving above the limit.Ä Following the initial stop, the police
officer will generally ask that you submit to several physical tests and
answer a series of questions including where you were coming from and how much
you had to drink.Ä Depending on the answers, he will likely take you to the
police station and ask you to blow into a Breathalyzer machine.
- Richard Upton:
A criminal defendant has a right not to testify, and jurors will be told that they cannot assume anything negative if the defendant decides to keep quiet. Of course, some jurors do make assumptions-and they cast their votes accordingly. On the other hand, there are some excellent reasons why a defendant might remain silent in court:
- If the defendant has previously been convicted of a crime, the prosecutor may be able to bring this fact out-but only if the defendant testifies. Evidence of a previous crime may cause some jurors to think that the defendant is guilty of the current crime, too.
- If the defendant testifies, the prosecutor may be able to bring out other information that tarnishes the defendant's reputation and discredits his testimony.
- Some defendants have a poor demeanor when speaking in public. A judge or jury may not believe a defendant who, though telling the truth, is a nervous witness and makes a bad impression.
- The defendant may have a perfectly good story which would nevertheless sound fishy to the average jury in that particular locale.
- McGlynn, Glisson & Koch:
The first line of defense is to challenge the reason that you were stopped. There are many things that you need to do before appearing in front of a judge.
- Babcock Law Firm:
Defense of a Louisiana DWI or Louisiana DUI charge can be quite challenging.Ä Challenge number one is that the main witnesses are the police.Ä Challenge number 2 is that there is scientific evidence from the breath test and/or the blood tests being presented against you.Ä The officer's testimony, and Standard Field Sobriety tests may also present damaging evidence against you.
- Brown Law Firm:
There is a tremendous amount at stake for you. If you plead guilty you are facing 10 days to 6 months in jail, fines up to $ 1,000.00, 32 hours of forced community service, which may include picking up trash on the side of the highway, and a 90 day suspension of your license, all for just a 1st offense. If you blew above .15 there is mandatory jail time.
With the potential risk so great you have no choice but to fight. An experienced DWI lawyer has tools available to defend your case. Remember you are innocent unless the State proves you guilty. Do not make the mistake of assuming the State can prove you guilty. Mistakes are made every day in DWI cases.
- Ben Gibson:
Although you are not required to have an attorney, it is a good idea to
retain one if you have been placed under arrest, or charged with
DUI/DWI, particularly if you have seriously injured or killed another
person. DUI/DWI laws are strictly enforced. While there may be some
arguments that you can make in your defense, or mistakes that were made
by the police, your chance of successfully making those arguments or
finding those mistakes is much greater if you have an attorney
assisting you sooner, rather than later. Invoke your right to remain
silent, and ask to speak to an attorney. If you are faced a DUI/DWI
charge, an attorney may be your only hope for avoiding or reducing any
penalties or imprisonment you face.
- Delatte, Edwards & Marcantel:
In Louisiana, the traditional offense is "underage driving under the
influence of alcohol" (UDUI), or "driving while intoxicated" (DWI).
UDUI requires only a .02 blood alcohol level and is used to charge
persons under the age of 21 years old. DWI requires a blood alcohol
level of .10. If you submit to the test and test above the levels you are
presumed to be intoxicated. However, if you refuse the test generally
the officer will charge you with a DUI and be required to prove
intoxication.
- Jim Holt:
Nearly 2 million drunk-driving cases are filed by law enforcement officers around the
country every year.2 These cases take up a large portion of the criminal docket of most
court systems. Because the penalties for drunk driving have increased, many of those
charged with this crime now must seriously consider alternatives to pleading guilty or nolo
contendere. For the rest of the 1990s, the absence of palatable alternatives for the
accused driver will lead to a dramatic increase in these trials.

- Bruce Netterville:
If you are arrested for a DWI in Louisiana you have 15 days to request a drivers license hearing. Failure to request a hearing will result in an automatic suspension of your license. Quick action can result in saving your drivers license. The State is also prosecuting you for the crime of DWI. Multiple convictions for DWI will result in felony charges.
- Juan Labadie:
A DWI conviction is no small matter. Someone charged with a felony would obviously be very worried. Usually, however, this is not the case when one is charged with a DWI. There are two reasons why this is not an appropriate response.
One, DWIs are normally handled in parish or city courts, where prosecutors and even judges, sometimes, try to get people to enter a quick guilty plea to a DWI charge in exchange for a reasonable fine and the ability to clear it from the person's record in due course. Second, and connected to the first reason, while a first and second convictions for DWI are, in fact, misdemeanors, a third offense is a felony. It carries with it a mandatory jail sentence that cannot be suspended.
Consequently, often times, a person that has received two DWIs will plead guilty due to promises of leniency. However, what they don't know is that those two misdemeanor convictions are viable for ten years. This means that if within ten years that person gets a third DWI offense, it's a felony. This means jail time.
Of course, most people don't get three DWI convictions within ten years. That is the problem of a minority segment of the population. But if you think this means that you don't need to worry about even one DWI conviction, just think of your insurance premiums! A DWI conviction, whether a first or third, will cause you and your record many problems. That is why if it ever happens to you, you should treat it very seriously.
- Kenner
- James D. Maxwell
A charge of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI/DUI) is a very serious offense. While the first and second offenses are
considered misdemeanors, conviction of either carries heavy penalties. Third and fourth offenses are felonies
and convictions call for heavy fines, lengthy jail sentences and forfeiture of the driver's vehicle.
- Lance Robinson:
In Louisiana , a DWI conviction can mean that your drivers license may be suspended , your auto insurance rates rise , and you could experience having major employment problems - especially if you drive a company vehicle or customers cars. In some instances the DWI defendent can be forced to install a device on their automobile that regulates the ability to start the car based on the car owners sobriety level. In most cases we can obtain an Occupational Drivers License.
- Lafayette
- Thomas Guilbeau:
When asked what traits make a good criminal defense lawyer, Tommy Guilbeau responds, "First, he must be a good investigator to get the facts of the casehe must listen well. Second, he must be a constitutional law expert with regard to the filing and arguing of motions prior to trial. Third and finally, he must be adept and skillful in the courtroom with the ability to think on his feet".
"But most of all, he or she has to love doing battle for the little guy against often superior forces. This means standing up for the accused in such a way that the person is treated fairly and given full constitutional rights under the law." Guilbeau stresses, "Just as you would want all of this to happen for a family member or loved one if he or she were suddenly accused of a crime."
- Marcus Allen:
First codified in England in the early 1600's, the "writ of habeas corpus" has existed as a legal concept for centuries. "Habeas corpus," a Latin term, literally means "you have the body" or "produce the body." Traditionally, a writ of habeas corpus enabled an inmate to seek an order from the king to compel his release on the ground that the incarcerating court lacked jurisdiction.
In the United States, the concept was expanded to include release from any kind of illegal detention. Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution, and many state constitutions, theoretically guarantee habeas corpus as a right and as a procedure. The main focus of this article is the use of the writ of habeas corpus in federal courts by inmates convicted of, and imprisoned for, state crimes.
- Leesville
- Anderson & Westerchil:
ime is of the essence in DWI cases. You have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing for your charges. Failure to request this hearing will automatically result in your license being suspended starting 30 days after the date of your arrest. If you took the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, your license could be suspended for 90 days if you tested at.08 or higher (or.02 or higher for those under 21 years of age), or suspended for 180 days if you refused the BAC test and were later convicted for DWI. Moreover, people facing DWI charges should realize their rights under the law and the possible consequences they face with a conviction, which include fines, the development of a criminal record, and even jail time. Habitual offenders face the additional penalties of having an interlock device placed on their vehicle and increased fines and jail time.

- Dyess Law Firm:
If you believe you may fail, you should not blow. Although you may lose your driver's license for a limited amount of time, the intoxilizer test is very difficult to overcome and puts you at a severe disadvantage in a DWI case.
- Metairie
- New Iberia
- Haik, Minvielle & Grubbs:
Facing a criminal charge is never easy. You may be frightened about the court system, unsure what is going to happen to you. You may wonder what your options are.
- Michael Lopresto:
Generally, the crime of operating a vehicle while under the influence is the
operation of a vehicle (1) while under the influence of alcohol, or, (2) when
the operator's blood alcohol level is over ".10", or, (3) when the driver is
under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance ("drugs").
The conviction of a 1st or 2nd offense DWI is a misdemeanor. The conviction of
a 3rd or subsequent offense is a felony. The required sentence, however, gets
increasingly stiffer with each conviction. There are also stiffer sentences
required when the offender's blood alcohol level is over ".15" or a minor is in
the vehicle.
- New Orleans
- Trahan & Davis:
The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to be free from "unreasonable" government searches and seizures. As a general rule, law enforcement officers must obtain a validly issued warrant based on probable cause prior to conducting a search or seizing property. In instances where a warrant is not obtained, and no exceptions to the warrant requirement justify the search, the "exclusionary rule" takes effect and prohibits any evidence that was gathered from being introduced in trial. In the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio (1961), the Court ruled that evidence obtained in violation of the exclusionary rule is inadmissible in both federal and state courts.
Despite the exclusionary rule's seemingly widespread protections, several exceptions, if properly established, allow evidence connected with an illegal search to still be admissible at trial. Such exceptions include the following:
Attenuation
Independent Source
Inevitable Discovery
Good Faith
- Stephen London:
The Court has always maintained that the right to counsel requires courts to ensure that criminal defendants are provided with adequate legal assistance. In 1984, the Court set forth a general test for determining ineffective assistance of counsel in criminal trials and capital sentencing proceedings in Strickland v. Washington.
Pursuant to the Strickland test, the two components of ineffective assistance of counsel include:
(1) Deficient attorney performance, and
(2) Resulting prejudice to the defense so serious as to bring the outcome of the proceeding into question.
The Court explained that the standard for judging attorney performance is that of "reasonably effective assistance considering all the circumstances." Generally, this means that a defendant must show that attorney performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness in order to prove a Sixth Amendment violation. In addition, the defendant must show that the result of the proceeding would have been different but for the attorney's deficient performance. The Court has since refined the test to require that the outcome of the proceeding was also fundamentally unfair or unreliable as a result of deficient attorney performance.
- Didriksen Law Office:
As trial approaches, the two most important decisions of your life:
ßê Will I be testifying?
ßê Will I plead guilty?
These are your choices, alone, and you need to know everything available to help you decide.
If you are charged with DWI, these issues and questions should be considered:
ßê You have a limited amount of time to request an administrative hearing to protect your license. Check the paperwork given to you when you were arrested!
ßê What is the difference between the criminal charge of DWI, and the Administrative Hearing?
- Andre Guichard:
You're never guilty until you either enter a plea of "guilty" or are found
guilty by a judge after your case is tried in open court. The prosecutor has to
get the police to come to court to testify against you and must prove your
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The Intoxilyzer (sometimes called the "breath
test") is evidence the prosecutor can use against you if you took the test. You
are not automatically guilty if you took the Intoxilyzer test and tested over
the legal limit. By the same token, if you didn't take the test, that does not
necessarily mean you will be found not guilty either. Either way, there will
have to be a trial to prove your guilt or innocence, unless we can come to a
mutually-agreeable plea arrangement between you and the prosecution.
- Craig Gibbs:
If you are stopped for suspicion of DWI/DUI and refuse the breath test, your license will be
suspended for one hundred and eighty days unless you request an administrative hearing. The
administrative hearing must be requested within 15 days from the date of your arrest. At the
hearing, an administrative law judge will decide whether the police officer had probable cause to
arrest you for driving while intoxicated.
- Stephen Rue:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A RELIABLE BATTERY OF STANDARDIZED FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS. In fact, the National highway Traffic Safety Administration (HNTSA) has found that "the tests and procedures used vary between local agencies and officers."
- David Band:
A Driving While Intoxicated Conviction will kill you for years
While there is never a guarantee, the fact is most police officers almost never appear in New Orleans Traffic Court to testify, and the chances of getting a
plea reduction are quite good. DWI's are much harder, but can very likely be plea bargained down to a manageable non alcohol related plea, saving you
thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums. It is IMPERATIVE that a defendant having received a DWI file for an administrative hearing
within 10 days of receiving the ticket - otherwise your license will be administratively suspended for 90 days just because you blew in excess of .10, the
presumptive limit of Blood Alcohol Level. But bear in mind that the Administrative Hearing and Administrative Process for a license suspension is in
addition to the criminal proceeding in Traffic Court, where you will have to go before a Traffic Judge to defend your charges. David Band will appear in
both proceedings for you, ensure that the proper subpoenas are issued for the arresting officer in the administrative proceedings so that, if he dosen't
show (and they usually don't) you win by default and do not suffer the automatic suspension of your license for a minimum of 90 days.
- Pineville
- Tannehill & Sylvester:
Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly
when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction
on DUI/DWI charges may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of
your driver's license, and possible jail time. In addition, your
insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In
defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a
criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses
against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced criminal
defense attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.
- Prarieville
- Sotile Law Firm:
The penalties for driving while intoxicated, or DWI, in Louisiana are tough, and they get tougher if you continue to commit offenses. Mandatory prison sentences, high fines, loss of your drivers license it all adds up to spell trouble for you.
If you have been charged with DWI, you need a lawyer fast. In particular, if you refused to submit to testing, you only have a very limited time period in which to file a Request for Hearing with the Department of Public Safety or you risk having your drivers license suspended for 180 or 545 days. And if your test showed a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher, your license may be suspended for 90 days or 1 year.
- Shreveport
- McKeithen Law Office:
Have you or someone you know been accused of a crime? If you are facing any criminal charges, you should hire an attorney to represent you. Hiring an attorney to help you with your case is the best decision that you can make. Attorneys are trained to evaluate the facts of your case and advise you of your rights and possible outcomes.
- Victoria Cranford:
When a defendant anticipates that the prosecutor will attempt to introduce evidence of his prior convictions under FRE 609, he may file a "motion in limine" to exclude any use of his prior criminal record. If a court determines that the probative value of admitting evidence of prior convictions is substantially outweighed by its prejudicial effect, then the court will most likely bar the introduction of such evidence at the defendant's trial.
- Jason Waltman:
A cultural stigma has become associated with drunk driving that was not present in our society even a decade ago. Public perception categorizes people charged with drunk driving as criminals, even before they have been convicted of any crime. Being arrested for drunk driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI) can be an unsettling proposition, to say the least. A DUI - DWI conviction in Louisiana or Texas carries with it heavy penalties.
- Allison Law Firm:
There are two prongs to the DUI test. The first is whether your blood alcohol content is above the legal limit,
regardless of whether you are impaired. The second is whether you are impaired. Different people have different
alcohol tolerance levels. The fact that you may not believe that you are impaired does not mean anything if the court
finds that your blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. Conversely, the fact that your blood alcohol content was
below that limit is meaningless if the court finds that the other evidence in the case proves that you were impaired.
- Mills, Turansky & Cox:
Police agencies and the courts are becoming increasingly tougher on drunk driving and repeat offenders. You need
expert aggressive representation at the earliest possible stage. Early legal intervention can keep you from losing your
license or going to jail. Even if you are a repeat offender, I can help you achieve the best possible resolution. If your
license has been suspended or revoked, I may be able to restore your privileges. NEVER blow into the breath sample
machine, no matter what you are told. Ask to call your attorney first! Speak no further to the police UNTIL you have
spoken with your attorney! Generally, if you are stopped and the police officer believes that you may be driving under
the influence of alcohol or other substances, both illegal and prescribed medications, you will be asked to perform a
number of road side tests, including giving a breath sample. If the police officer believes you have been driving under
the influence of alcohol or some other substance you will be arrested for DWI. Once arrested, a video is usually made
and you are asked numerous questions. Because a DWI may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on
past convictions, it is very important that you consult with an attorney immediately. You do not have to perform any of
the road side "field sobriety tests" AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BLOW INTO THE BREATH SAMPLE
MACHINE ! Do not blow - because you have the constitutional right not to incriminate yourself. Know your rights, call
an experienced lawyer well versed in DWI law immediately.
- Elton Richey:
In most jurisdictions, states have adopted what are called "implied
consent" laws. These laws state that a person who receives a driver's
license gives their "implied consent" under certain circumstances to
the taking of a chemical test for intoxication to determine if they
have been driving while intoxicated. Generally, however, you can still
refuse to perform field sobriety tests or a request to submit to a
breath or blood test. But, there may be consequences, for this refusal.
For example in Louisiana the first time a person refuses to submit to a
breath alcohol test when the officer has probable cause to believe he
or she is driving while intoxicated results in an automatic 180 day
suspension of driving privileges. Successive refusals result in longer
suspensions.
