Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question what are the lesser included offenses of DUI or DWI?

But if you find that you are in a position where it is critical that you know what the lesser included offenses of either DUI or DWI are, I strongly urge you to consider hiring the services of a lawyer who specializes in traffic citation offenses and DUI and DWI and OUI. You'll be serving yourself well. I'm Robert Todd and thank you for watching."
