Fighting A DWI Case Washington DC

Reader’s Question:

I got a DWI charge here in Washington, DC and I’m getting a bit frustrated that I wanna give up. My case hasn’t gone to trial yet and I feel that I would just have to plead guilty. Could you please give me reasons to fight my DWI case and not just plead guilty?

If you go to court and plead guilty of your DWI case in Washington, DC, there would be a 100% chance that you would be convicted of DWI. If you just plead guilty, you will be guaranteed to suffer all of the consequences the courts would impose. But fighting your case would mean that a lawyer would do everything possible to positively affect the outcome of your DWI case. To fight your DWI case means that the prosecutor could not be able to get all the evidence or witnesses he needs to convict you of DWI; to fight your DWI case means that you have a chance.

There are actually significant legal reasons not to plead guilty and fight your DWI case. Your DWI lawyer could investigate the DWI stop because the police officer probably did not have a valid legal reason for stopping you in the first place and that way, any gathered evidence should be suppressed. Another reason to fight your DWI case is that the breath test machine may be out of calibration and the high blood alcohol content (BAC) reading was not the actual BAC reading at the time of your driving.
