First, stop taking advice from people you know who are not lawyers and have no basis to offer any legal opinion. This is not TV. There are very serious long term consequences that can arise from a DUI or DWI conviction. Among them are:

• Forfeiture of your vehicle to the state or municipality
• Loss of your license
• Loss of your insurance as well as your family’s auto insurance
• Increased rates for life and health insurance
• Loss of professional license
• Inability for you or your household to obtain affordable insurance
• Loss of government funding, disability, student loans, or government subsidized housing.
• Monetary judgments
• You could lose your job
• If you work for a company with fleet vehicles, there may be a cancellation of the present insurance or a substantial increase in the cost of their insurance for the whole company
• You may be faced with Criminal Charges
• If you were allowed to drive another persons’ vehicle who knew you were intoxicated or should have known, they may face state imposed penalties similar to yours.

While there are many other consequences to a conviction for either a DWI charge or DUI charge, one thing is for certain, You need to know all your rights under the law and you need an expert attorney to evaluate the evidence that the state will use to prosecute you. It is very rare that a defendant can face a prosecutor alone and be successful. The police who have charged you with the violation has an unlimited budget and resources. They have police, investigators, detectives, prosecutors and some level of evidence. Unless you are an expert in the law, you do not stand a chance by yourself. Unless you know your rights, you will not be able to utilize them. Drinking and driving was one mistake. Do not make it worse. Get an experienced attorney to represent you now.
