The DUI/DWI Distinction
While many people use the terms interchangeably, a few crucial differences play a significant part in how we will handle your case. Learn more about each charge below.
DUI
"Driving Under the Influence" or DUI cases, for short, can be talking about any kind of substance abuse leading to impaired driving. This includes drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and more.
DWI
"Driving While Intoxicated" or DWI for short, specifically is referencing driving under the influence of alcohol. It is usually measured by checking your blood alcohol content at the time of the issue with a breathalyzer.
No matter which one you are charged with, the truth is that convictions can lead to severe consequences. We will do all we can to prove your innocence by examining the police report and seeing if there is proof of impaired driving. We will also check your history, as multiple occurrences of impaired driving drastically change the possible outcomes; that way, we are well aware of what might be facing you.
