What Should I Do After An OWI Arrest?

If you are arrested for drunk driving, or operating while intoxicated (OWI), your next actions can determine the course of your case. From Breathalyzer tests and your statements, law enforcement can obtain evidence they can use to prepare a case against you.

Since most OWI or DUI arrests happen when you are scared, drunk or tired, it isn’t always easy to remember your rights. It you remember nothing else, remember:

  • You have the right to an attorney.
  • You have the right to speak to your lawyer before submitting to a Breathalyzer.
  • Do not give any statement to law enforcement before you talk to a lawyer. Do not tell them where you have been or if you have been drinking.
