What am I looking at if convicted of DUI/DWI?

Sam,
The consequences of Driving Under The Influence, or DUI, charges
are far reaching. The criminal justice system can be a complicated process and the penalties of a DUI are quite severe. You should be aware that in some cases, those convicted of a DUI are subject to significant fines, legal costs, court costs, and even jail time.
Every person facing this charge is in need of a good defense and protection of their rights. The reason you need to obtain an experienced DUI lawyer is that research shows that many individuals arrested and charged with DUI are not guilty because they haven’t had too much to drink. While the State has a duty to enforce the law, persons accused of crimes such as driving under the influence are still innocent until proven guilty.
Great Question.
