Understanding DUI and DWI

Driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) refer to operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. These charges can have serious consequences:

1. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): In most states, a BAC of 0.08% or higher for drivers over 21, and 0.02% or higher for drivers under 21, is considered a DUI or DWI offense.

2. Drug-Related Impairment: It is also illegal to drive under the influence of drugs, whether they are illegal substances, prescription medications, or over-the-counter drugs that impair your ability to drive.

Understanding the specific charges against you is crucial for building a strong defense.

The Impact of a DUI or DWI Conviction

A conviction for a DUI or DWI can have serious, long-lasting consequences. These may include:

1. License Suspension or Revocation: Losing your driving privileges can significantly impact your daily life, including work, school, and personal commitments.

2. Fines and Fees: Convicted individuals may face substantial fines, court fees, and costs related to mandatory alcohol or drug education programs.

3. Incarceration: Depending on the severity of the offense and prior convictions, jail time may be imposed.

4. Insurance Rates: A DUI or DWI conviction can cause your auto insurance rates to increase substantially.

Our attorneys work tirelessly to minimize the negative consequences of a DUI or DWI charge.
