Don't make these mistakes! When you are charged with drunk driving, your actions can either aid your defense or help the prosecution seal your fate. Contact DUI defense lawyer Eric L.

These terms all have the same meaning in Indiana:
OWI — Operating While Intoxicated • DWI — Driving While Intoxicated • DUI — Driving Under the Influence

Ten Common Mistakes Made By Those Charged With DUI

  • Pleading guilty without speaking to an attorney.
  • Not hiring an attorney whose practice is focused exclusively on Indiana DWI law.
  • Making incriminating statements to police officers or friends.
  • Failing to be vigilant in your own defense. If possible, get the phone numbers and addresses of any witnesses.
  • Not fully exploring all possible defenses stemming from your DUI arrest.
  • "Giving up" before the case even starts. No case is hopeless.
  • Forgetting that in America you are protected by a presumption of innocence, which must be rebutted beyond a reasonable doubt by the prosecutor.
  • Hiring the lowest priced attorney. The cliché is true: "You get what you pay for."
  • Displaying a poor attitude. Always be courteous and respectful to law enforcement officers, court staff, and the judge.
  • Dressing inappropriately for court. As court is a formal setting, you should always look your best.
