DWI Information
The law on this varies from state to state. As a general rule, however, there is no right to an attorney until you have submitted to (or refused) blood, breath or urine testing. In some states, there is a right to consult with counsel upon being arrested or before deciding whether to submit to chemical testing. Of course, this does not mean that you cannot ask for an attorney.

DWI Information
This field sobriety test has proven to be subject to a number of different problems, not the least of which is that the non-medically trained officer's ability to recognize nystagmus and estimate the angle of onset. Because of this, and the fact that the medical community does not accept the test, it is not admissible as evidence in many states. It continues, however, to be widely used by law enforcement.

DWI Answers
The traditional offense is "driving under the influence of alcohol" (DUI) or, in some states, "driving while intoxicated" (DWI). In recent years, however, 43 states have also enacted a second, so-called "per se" offense: driving with an excessive blood-alcohol concentration (either .08% or .10%). In those states, BOTH offenses are charged. The defendant can even be convicted of both, but can be punished for only one.
If the case involves a refusal to submit to chemical testing, of course, only the traditional offense will be charged.
