DWI law is more difficult to try than general law. In DWI cases you have had a blood-alcohol test which is all the evidence needed to get a guilty verdict.
Getting the CDL isn't the issue - it's finding employment. If that DWI was within five years, you can pretty much forget about it. Even within the next two years afterwards, a DWI on your record will make it a lot more difficult for you.
The advantages of getting a DWI attorney over a regular attorney are experience and connections. A DWI attorney can generally minimize all charges on a first and second arrest very quickly. A general attorney in the long run may cost more and be less successful.
Probably not very good. Normally the DWI's would have to be more than 10 years old.
Having a DWI on your record can make it difficult to become a teacher in Texas. Background checks are required to teach in Texas and a DWI could cause a person to be disqualified for a teaching position.
It's difficult, but if you were found not guilty it is a little more likely. The charge will always show up, just not necessarily as a not guilty.
DWI Layers in California can be find directly from the DWI website or in towns such as; Alameda, Alpine and Colusa. There are also many more towns that the DWI Layers offers their service.
Yes you can but what you want is a job using your CDL. Most companies will hire someone with a DWI after 10 (clean) years have passed. Some will look at you after 5 years but most want 10. If you have more than one DWI you will most likely be done. If your DWI is recent you should either wait to get a CDL or decide on something else. Drive Safe, Tanya Bons
It's hard to imagine a situation where you didn't face suspension or restriction on your driver's license after a DWI, unless the DWI is dismissed entirely. If it is your first DWI/DUI it's more likely that you can get probation and hold on to your license.
This depends on so many different factors and circumstances surrounding the dwi. It is certainly possible under a plea agreement if you have the right attorney, a lenient prosecutor and lenient judge. It is also unlikely that you will only get probation if your dwi felony is due to multiple dwi offences in the past. Honestly though, jail time for a dwi felony should be the least of ones worries. A felony will make it extremely difficult to secure employment.
