DUI/DWI Law

The penalties for a DUI/DWI conviction will depend on which state a driver lives in and the DUI/DWI laws in that particular state (see our interactive map for more details)

  • Most states also operate enhanced penalties for drivers convicted of DUI/DWI with a high BAC (commonly known as aggravated DUI/DWI or extreme DUI/DWI)
  • This designation will often lead to higher than normal penalties
  • Possible forfeiture/seizure of a drunk driver’s vehicle or license plates could also be a possibility
  • Drivers license revocation or suspension will inevitably follow a DUI/DWI conviction and often before a conviction if a chemical test has been refused
  • All states have implied consent laws in place. Implied consent is consent that is inferred by a persons actions rather than consent that is expressly given by a person either verbally or in writing
  • Refusal to submit to a chemical test or field sobriety test can lead to a criminal conviction that carries penalties equal to, or sometimes harsher than a DUI/DWI conviction

A FORMER PROSECUTOR has years of experience and unmatched knowledge of the law. Their understanding of vehicle traffic law is a result of years in a courtroom, using the law to successfully convict offenders like you. There is simply no substitute for that knowledge and experience. Protect yourself and get the defense you deserve
