DWI CASE EXAMPLE: A citizen was arrested for DWI.  He did not take a breath test after his arrest.  After being released on bail, he was later arrested again in a stolen car.  He was locked up in the county jail for the weekend, and brought to Court the following Monday.  He went to his Court without a lawyer and spoke to a police officer about a plea deal.  The officer gave the citizen a form and said that if the citizen pleaded guilty to the DWI he could pay a fine, lose his license and get out of jail that day.  Believing the offered penalties, as bad as they were, were the best he could do, the citizen pleaded guilty to DWI.  He lost his license for one year, paid a hefty fine, was forced to attend a complete program, and obtain an SR-22 proof of financial responsibility certificate and maintain the SR-22 for three years.

        The citizen was not aware that he had other options, such as fighting the case and going to trial.  He also did not know that his decision to plead guilty could come back to bite him for years.   He was later charged with a an OUI in another state and his license was revoked for several years.  Concerned that he did not know the effects and consequences of his guilty plea and conviction in New Hampshire, the citizen hired Salem, New Hampshire criminal defense Attorney Mark Stevens to attempt to vacate his old New Hampshire DWI conviction.

Note-this is one example of a recent New Hampshire DWI case victory. It is by no means a guarantee of any particular result in any other case.

STRATEGY:         Attorney Stevens filed a motion to vacate the old DWI conviction based on constitutional infirmities with the old plea and conviction. 

RESULT:    The motion to vacate the prior DWI conviction was granted after a hearing.
