DUI and DWI

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Clients should absolutely take the time to educate themselves on legal issues. In the modern world, there is a lot of false information easily available that can lead to bad decisions. Truly understanding the ramifications of ones charges is very important. Further, while an experienced Criminal attorney will be able to understand the law at a higher level and identify potential legal arguments, a client can also help in this process and be better equipped to work with the attorney(s).
