What To Expect If You’re Pulled Over For A DWI

If you’re pulled over in New Orleans for a DWI it can often be a traumatic experience so you may want to consult an attorney right afterwards.

It could be a random traffic stop or it could be a, it could be random traffic stop or it could be a check point, either of which are legal.

You want to be friendly, you want to be courteous to the officer. Probably if you’ve been handcuffed you’re going to jail. Hopefully they’ll let you make a phone call on your cell phone or a payphone at the jail and then someone can set a bond for you.

One thing that’s important to remember is if your loved ones or you can call an attorney often the attorney can help you get released from jail without using a bondsmen. That will ultimately be a little bit more effective.
