What’s At Stake In A Drunk Driving Case? The penalties you or a loved one faces if convicted of DWUI (also known as DUI) in the state depend on many factors, which include: Whether it is a first or subsequent offense The BAC at the time of arrest Whether there were minors in the vehicle at the time of an arrest, or intoxication resulted in serious injury to someone else A conviction can result in consequences that are both burdensome and potentially devastating. They include: Suspension of a driver’s license Required installation of an ignition Interlock device Jail time Fines that can reach thousands of dollars For more serious offenses, including those involving underage passengers, people can face several years in prison.

In drunk driving cases, this can mean looking for faulty evidence like field sobriety, blood or Breathalyzer tests.
