If you or someone you love has been accused of a crime of any type, we cannot overstate the importance of acting quickly.

This can only be done with the assistance of a qualified defense attorney.
At West & West, PLLC, we take the time to investigate all of the details of your case so we can provide you with the most thorough and effective defense possible.

It often begins with a routine traffic stop – a broken taillight, speeding, changing lanes without using a turn signal. The police officer who pulled you over may or may not suspect you of driving while intoxicated.
Whether you have been drinking or not, it is always wise to be calm, polite and cooperative (to a reasonable degree). Have your license, car registration and proof of insurance at the ready. Delays in providing documents, fumbling and confusion are triggers that may produce or escalate suspicion.
Don’t lie or become defensive or combative. In fact, say as little as possible. Do not answer potentially incriminating questions. Assert your right to keep your mouth shut and in full control of your person before you consult legal counsel.
Not matter how nice or mean the arresting Officer may be, never allow yourself to be sweet-talked or bullied into false self-incrimination. Never perform sobriety tests. The walking, turning and standing on one leg tests are set to fail. The best course of action is to contact West & West, PLLC before submitting to any chemical test. Be polite but firm. Kindly say no. Period!
If you are lucky, you’ll be issued a summons for a traffic infraction. Even if you’ve had only “a little bit” to drink and think you might have passed the field test you most likely escaped much more serious charges.
