Do Not Plead Guilty at Your Arraignment!

There is a common misconception that if you were drinking and driving and charged with OWI or OWVI you must plead guilty at your initial arraignment. Nothing could be further from the truth! Your initial arraignment is designed to inform you of your charges and to determine your INITIAL plea. You can plead Not Guilty, Stand Mute or Guilty. If you plead not guilty you are simply setting the matter for a pretrial conference to speak with a prosecuting attorney.

The same goes for standing mute. If you plead guilty, the judge will specifically tell you that you are giving up all of your rights. At the minimum, you should speak with a prosecuting attorney about your case. This will give you time to further consider hiring an attorney.
