Wife just picked up for a DWI with a child. What sentence will she get and what is a good estimate for total fines from her charges?

First off, I'm sorry this happened to you and your family.  It's always difficult when a familiy member, especially a spouse, gets in legal trouble.  The first and best thing you can do for your wife is find her the best criminal defense lawyer you can.  DWI with Child Passenger is a state jail felony offense, punishable by 6 months to 2 years in the state jail facility, or probation in certain cases.  Hopefully she did not, as you said, 'take a swing' at the officer as that would land her with a 2-10 year indictment ofr assault of a public servant.  Suffice it to say that this case is very serious.  Call a local criminal defense lawyer...this website is a great place to start your search.  Many of us offer free consultations on these types of cases, and can advise you on how best to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers, then hire the one that you and your wife believe can keep her out of jail.  Hope I helped, good luck!   Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer, Cogdell Law Firm (713) 426-2244 cordt@cogdell-law.com

What can I do if I was arrested at a DUI checkpoint?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Hire an experienced DUI lawyer. 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.

How can a begin preparing a good case to contest a DWI? Does taking a drug screen help? Should I be contacting witnesses I was with the 7 hrs prior?

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
If you have experience with legal processes in criminal court then establish a time line and line up your witnesses, get all discovery from the state and prepare the defense. There is nothing simple about a trial and the technical skill necessary to present evidence requires some knowledge of the system. If you lose the case you will have a conviction for your lifetime, surcharges in the thousands of dollars, fines, court costs and jail time or probation.
