2. Coyne, Cundiff, & Hillemann: If you have been arrested for DUI/DWI you need to act quickly to protect your rights. If you took the breath test, you only 15 days to file an appeal of the suspension of your license. Failure to file your appeal within this time will result in the revocation of your driving privilege. If you refused the breath test, you have only thirty days to file an appeal. Failure to do so will result in revocation of your license for at least one year.
3. Stepehnson Law Office: After being charged with an alcohol-related driving offense, there are two sets of consequences you should be concerned about, criminal and administrative. In your criminal case, you face potentially serious consequences: * The first offense carries a penalty of six months of jail time and one year for the second offense. A third conviction is a felony, which can mean up to four years' incarceration. * It is a $500 fine for the first offense, and $1,000 for the second offense. * If you are convicted for DWI or DUI, you will automatically lose your license. * Your first conviction will have a cumulative effect on your criminal record and ramp up the penalties for future DWI or DUI offenses. If you are a first-time offender, we will fight to keep it off your record and explore alternatives to jail. We will take the time to explain your rights and options and offer you experienced guidance on whether a plea bargain or trial is in your best interest. We believe a well-informed client is in the best position to make well-informed decisions. The administrative aspect of your case relates to your driver's license: * The Department of Revenue will suspend or revoke your license, depending on your number of prior offenses. The first offense will result in suspension. * Subsequent offenses or refusal to take the Breathalyzer test will result in revocation. * The suspension or revocation will take place automatically within 15 days, or 30 days if you refused the Breathalyzer, unless you demand an administrative hearing. * Seeking an attorney immediately is vital so you can contest the revocation or suspension and keep your driving privileges. Boating While Intoxicated: BWI A BWI charge is punishable like a DUI or DWI, except there is no administrative procedure. It is important to note that a BWI conviction also carries severe criminal consequences and any BWI conviction will count toward enhancing the penalty of any future DWI/DUI convictions.
