Need To Know DUI DWI Issues

Consequences for a DUI conviction can be severe and different by state.

DUI convictions carry severe consequences that differ by state. Punishment can include losing your license, ignition interlock systems, required driving school, probation, court-ordered counseling, and even jail time. The penalties are much more harsh if this is not your first conviction.

If a motorist whose driver's license has been suspended or revoked as a result of drunk driving and decides to drive without a valid driver's license and is pulled over, that individual stands to face more severe penalties, including potential fines, jail time, or seizure of his or her car and/or extension of the driver's license suspension/revocation.

For the best drunk driving DUI outcome possible in your case, it is essential to have a lawyer that knows DWI, DUI laws by your side.
