Should DWI Lawyers Be Held Accountable?

DWI Lawyers are only responsible for clients Statistics may indicate that many drunk drivers rarely get caught or do any time.
The legal system appears to favor the offenders and in many instances, gaps in the legal system are skillfully exploited by DWI Lawyers.
Court costs are expensive and the idea seems to be to get cases off the docket as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Experts say police forces do not have the resources to control every road.
The problem is further compounded, when drivers who are stopped for DUI can refuse to take sobriety tests, or be screened for drugs.
Drivers can lose their licenses for a year or be fined for refusing blood alcohol tests and the smart drunks know that the chances of conviction increase if the test is taken.
Although everyone has the right to legal representation, accountability must be lie somewhere and may not always be with offenders.
The clients of DWI Lawyers are often repeat offenders DWI Lawyers must be licensed to practice in the state in which the DUI offense occurred.
This ensures familiarity with both the State Laws as they are applied to drunk driving.
It can sometimes be very challenging to prosecute drunk driving cases.
The legality of the arresting process has often been skillfully questioned by DWI Lawyers or how when and where the tests were conducted can also be challenged.
Results of the blood alcohol tests have been successfully challenged by DWI Lawyers in instances as well as the handling of blood samples.
Different states have different laws and it may be possible for skilled and knowledgeable DWI Lawyers to have cases reduced or dismissed entirely.
Based on the personal circumstances of the accused, DWI attorneys can seek more lenient sentences than those normally imposed, and should accept the responsibility of negotiating the fairest possible terms for his or her client.
DWI Lawyers primary concern is representing the client in any necessary or plausible way.
The question then arises,if "it is the law or is it DWI Lawyers"? Impaired drivers involved in crashes, may often not be tested for alcohol or drugs, because hospitals are not reimbursed for such testing and results are often withheld with doctor-patient confidentiality.
DUI is still considered a misdemeanor, may sometimes be more difficult to prosecute than some murder cases and can be easily be undermined by skillful DUI Lawyers.
Unless the arresting officers have everything exactly right according to the letter of the law, a case can easily collapse.
DWI Lawyers can prevent license suspension Many states have enacted policies for immediate license suspension, even before conviction.
Application for hearing is allowed within a certain time frame and reinstatement are often difficult.
However professional DWI Lawyers can be hepful in avoiding suspension.
First time and repeat offenders can plead guilty to reduced charges such as reckless driving and face nothing more than attending a few classes on the dangers of alcohol or drugs.
Charges can also be expunged from the individual's record, so repeat offenders are not noticed.
The Ignition interlock system that prohibits the ignition from starting if the driver's BAC is over a pre-determined level appears to hold some promise and is being more widely adopted by several countries.
The device is installed inside the vehicle and is connected to the ignition system.
Before starting the vehicle, a driver blows into the device and the Blood Alcohol level is measured.
Wider adoption and stricter enforcement may be required to make the program more effective.
The biggest obstacle may not entirely be with DWI lawyers or drunk drivers, but to change awareness as most people are no longer focused on the problem of impaired driving.
