Noteworthy celebrities are often seen in the news after being arrested on DUI and DWI charges.
Unfortunately, many of the celebs who are arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving decide to plead guilty without giving a second thought to other options.
At Levow DWI Law, P.C., we have successfully defended the rights of many celebrities in the past who have been arrested on intoxicated driving charges.
Furthermore, our commitment to our clients’ privacy has kept many of them out of the spotlight after an arrest.
The point of this article, among other things, is also to show that DWI arrests can happen to anyone who puts them-self in a position of having consumed too much alcohol and then drive. It's not illegal to drink and then drive; it's illegal to be drunk and drive. Some of these celebs and many of those arrested for DWI should not just plead guilty to avoid the court process. Hire a qualified DWI lawyer and figure out whether the case can be successfully challenged.
