While we can’t comment on how other law firms go about their consultations, we can let you know why and how we perform consultations at the McGee Law Firm. In addition to being free, our consultations are 100% confidential.

It is essential that you are upfront and truthful about all of the facts surrounding your DUI / DWI charge and also your driving history.

Below are some common questions we ask during our free consultations. This is not an exhaustive list and the answers to these questions may lead to more questions to understand the situation better:

  • What is your driving history?
  • What was going on during the day/night of your DUI/DWI charge?
  • Did you perform field sobriety tests?
  • Did you blow into the portable breathalyzer?
  • Did you blow into a machine at the jail or police station?

It is essential that you are truthful about your driving record and honest about what happened the day or night of your DUI / DWI charge during our free consultations.

This level of detail isn’t to shame you or make you relive the scenario. It’s utilized to serve you better and allow us to build a game plan for your defense. We’re here to help you not to judge you.

No!

So you’ve just been charged with a DUI / DWI. You’re feeling disappointed and embarrassed about your arrest. But it’s not the end of the world. At the McGee Law Firm, we understand what you’re going through, and we’re here to help you, not judge you.

Many influential and important people have DWI / DUI convictions on their record from when they were younger. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senators, CEOs, CFOs, and on down the line. So don’t beat yourself up over this so badly.

At the McGee Law Firm, we’re here to make this process as painless as possible. Our staff has the training and resources to educate our clients about DUI / DWI consequences and get them the help that puts them in a position to minimize the damage.

Most likely on a first conviction for DWI you will not go to jail unless there are multiple aggravating factors or grossly aggravating factors.

It is important that you have counsel who helps mitigate your case.  On the other hand, if you are convicted of a second DWI charge within a seven year period, you shall be sentenced to jail time.

However, the legislature has come up with several options that may be accepted by the court in lieu of jail.  It is important that you know the options available. 

We work with our clients with priors in recommending treatment options and continuous alcohol monitoring providers.  These are two options that may help avoid jail time.

Remember, no two cases are the same. Every case has it’s own set of facts. The information on this website is in very general terms for that purpose.

The best way to find out more about your situation is to speak with an experienced and licensed lawyer.
