First-Time DWI/DUI Arrests: Essential Information
The potential penalties faced by a person arrested on a first-time DWI/DUI vary depending on the circumstances of the arrest but can include stiff fines and driver's license suspension for up to a year — without the possibility of a hardship driver's license. The penalties may also include installation of an ignition interlock device.
Penalties depend partially on bodily alcohol content and on whether the person refused the Alco test or field sobriety test during the traffic stop. For this reason, our investigation often focuses tightly on whether the police followed correct procedures in making the initial stop and in administering field sobriety tests, and on whether the police followed correct procedures in administering the Alco test.
