If you have been accused of a DWI, you might not know what to expect or how to go about getting the information you need.
The purpose of this blog is to introduce New Hampshire law to you. As an experienced DWI defense attorney, I realize you may have many questions and concerns. I will try to answer these questions in my posts and articles as I discuss what happens in a DWI case, interpretations of the law, and possible outcomes. I will also keep you abreast of changes in the laws across the nation and important news and events related to drunk driving arrests, here in New Hampshire and elsewhere.
Our DWI/DUI News and Opinion page is features regularly updated blogs from California, Austin, Washington and Kentucky, with DWI short news from across the country.
Most defendants are convinced that under NH DWI laws, they will receive a harsh penalty – some repeat offenders fear jail time. DWI Cases features a few highlights of actual cases from my files, with their outcomes.
DWI Videos offers a light-hearted look into the world of drunk driving.
I post informational articles to the DWI Articles section. Here I offer advice and delve deep into what faces a person accused of DWI.
Feel free to drop comments, ask questions, and interact with me, my staff, and my visitors.

The study, published by Science Direct in January of this year, shows an increase in fatal accidents involving alcohol following the implementation of smoking bans in bars.

Michael M. was charged with Aggravated DWI. He crashed his car and flipped over. The police arrived on the scene and had him perform a battery of field sobriety tests. The officer determined that the observations on the HGN, Walk and Turn and One Leg Stand test indicated he was impaired. He was subsequently arrested and took a blood test that revealed a .17 Blood Alcohol Level.
I think if you listen close enough you can hear the sound of his head hitting the pavement...
