Event Description
Sooner or later, a client or friend will get stopped
for a DWI, or have a son or daughter who will. They'll call the only
attorney they know: YOU! What do you do? Should you answer their
questions yourself? Should they just take the test and deal with the rest
later? What can a defense attorney do for them anyway? What if the
police are holding the driver in jail pending a bail hearing? How do you
get them out now?
A panel of experienced attorneys who have handled
hundreds of DWIs will explain all the things a driver needs to know when the
police stop a driver and demand a test, as well as what to do after charges are
issued. Learn how to help clients avoid accidental test refusal charges
(choosing a blood test is not always a safe option!), how much time they get to
contact a defense attorney before having to take the test or refuse, ethical
traps in what you say to a driver about consenting to the test, what the
deadlines are that drivers must deal with promptly after they are released, and
much, much more!
