I've gotten a DUI or DWI charge. Now what?

DUI and DWI charges can lead to serious consequences—including license suspension, points on your driving record, hefty fines, mandatory programs, and even jail time. If this isn’t your first offense, the penalties are even more severe.

Many people charged with DUI worry about losing their ability to drive or how the arrest will affect their job and family life. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed—but you don’t have to navigate this alone.

How We Help

  • First-time and repeat DUI charges

  • Underage DUI offenses
