Your question is very specific. If you're looking for someone to answer that the cop made a bright line mistake you're probably not going to get it. The facts you describe would help an experienced DWI attorney assist in defending the case. Www.Austincriminaldefenseattorney.Com Austin DWI Lawyer 512-495-1813

If you're awaiting sentencing then you should already have an attorney. This is a question that that they should answer. If your current attorney doesn't handle occupational licenses, then you need a referral to someone who does. If you are representing yourself in this entire process, you shouldn't be. Even with probation, you could be looking at up to six months in jail. This is day for day time.

Many public defenders are very good. The problem with the public defender is that you can't change. If you're not comfortable given the fact that you have two months you're probably okay to hire your own lawyer. You should look for one through an organization like the national college for DUI defense lawyers. www.austincriminaldefenseattorney.com 512 – 495 – 1813 Austin DWI lawyer

No. A lawyer can contest the validity of the confession. At this point he needs to not talk to anyone other than a lawyer. These are very serous charges. In my 20 years as an Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer, I've seen many confession cases and the defendant has always needed the help of an attorney.
