Multiple DWI

Make no mistake: police officers handle every DWI charge very seriously. Prosecuting attorneys do their best to get a conviction on each case. You can be certain that they work even harder on cases that involve a repeat offender. And while a 2nd DWI is not usually a felony, a conviction results in harsher punishments, including fines up to $4,000 and the suspension of your driver's license for up to two full years in some cases. Additionally, you face up to one year in jail, and up to eighty hours of community service if convicted of a second offense. Each DWI conviction after the second is no longer a misdemeanor but a felony. Punishments for Felony DWI are much more severe, which can include fines of up to $10,000, hundreds of hours of community service, and ten years in prison.

It goes without saying that multiple DWI convictions will severely change your way of life. This is why it is critical that you secure the help of a DWI attorney that understands the intricacies of Felony DWI law and can create an effective defense for your case.
