Meet The DWI Attorneys
Arkansas DWIs can be won; just not all of them. Our Attorneys win a lot of Arkansas DWIs. Our attorneys have won a number of DWI cases even where our clients have been told by other attorneys that their case was unwinnable. Our Arkansas attorneys have had this success by attacking the science behind the machine. Our attorneys have received extensive training related to the scientific evidence presented in DWI cases. An Arkansas lawyer must understand how the machine works to be able to tell you if it was right in your DWI or DUI case. Call one of our Little Rock attorneys for a full case review.
