| 7. Should I hire a lawyer?
Without a doubt, YES, and the sooner the better. Some
evidence, by its very nature, is most valuable and obtainable for a short
time. Delay may prevent the development of some evidence. DWI cases are
very complex, involving a great amount of law and science. Failure to quickly
request an ALR hearing can handicap your defense. It is critical that you
obtain quality legal counsel quickly.
Conviction for DWI can lead to severe and far-reaching
consequences, and your driving record will NEVER be cleared after conviction
is final.
Whether you hire Mr. Goff or another qualified lawyer,
you owe it to yourself to hire an attorney to handle this matter. Don't
kid yourself into thinking that you can do it yourself. If you could
handle it yourself, would you be reading this?
