How our DWI lawyers in Hampton develop your defense

Serving clients in Hampton Road County, each Hampton DWI attorney in our law firm conducts a thorough investigation of the true circumstances leading up to your arrest as well as the legalities behind police activities during the traffic stop and arrest.  Even for serious charges such as DWI, we have many options for helping to reduce or eliminate charges, such as the following:

• Testing errors:  Particularly when tests are conducted with hand-held breathalyzer devices, the results are prone to errors.  Police inexperience can also cause errors. 
• Refuting other evidence:  The attorneys at our DWI law firm in Hampton do not take any prosecution evidence at face value.  We perform our own investigation to determine if you swerved to avoid an animal on the road—or if witnesses have ulterior motives in testifying against you.
• Mitigating circumstances:  Our clients may be unaware that a medical condition may affect performance on a field sobriety test or that a prescription medication can cause drowsiness on its own, or even when mixed with a small amount of alcohol.
• Clean criminal record:  A clean criminal and driving record can effectively be used to reduce charges and penalties.

You have the right to legal representation before you answer any questions after an arrest

Your Miranda rights give you the right to remain silent and to call an attorney once you have been arrested on DWI charges.  It is important that you directly inform police that you want to take advantage of your Miranda rights—and stop all questioning—as soon as your rights are read to you by police.

When you call an attorney from the law firm of Thomas L. Hunter, P.C., he or she remains at your side for all questioning and represents you throughout the criminal process to ensure you are treated within legal requirements and receive the best possible results for your case.
