I got charged with dwi.They didnt give me a breath blood or feild sobriety test. I pleaded not guilty can I be convicted

Yes. None of those (i.e. breath/blood/FST) is a prerequisite to a conviction for DWI. All the State must convince the jury of is that you had lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties, by reason of the introduction of alcohol, drugs, or some combination. Usually a case like this would be based on the driving facts (e.g. a car wreck or other bad driving facts observed by a witness) or observations made by the police officer. A good defense lawyer will have an argument for every little b/s thing they try to come up with. Ultimately, it's up to the jury, though.

What happens if my probation was revoked and a warrant has been issued but my attorney advised me to wait until Monday?

Your attorney is giving you great advice. It takes a while for you to get in front of the judge if you report near the weekend. If your attorney is telling you this, he likely knows how much time it takes for you too get in front of that Judge. You should listen to your attorney. Good luck.

Should I be hiring a attorney if I was arrested for a DUI?

DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Each case is different and requires individual review. In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are ?material and exculpatory.? Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.
