What You Should Do If Accused of a DUI

If you have been stopped for a DUI or DWI, by DWI laws in most states, the officer will immediately confiscate your license. In most states, a DUI or DWI is a misdemeanor offense, punished by fines and license suspensions. If you have caused an accident, injury or fatality while driving under the influence, DWI and DUI laws allow for much more severe consequences. More severe punishments may also be imposed under DUI law for repeat offenders.

If you have been accused of a DUI or DWI, the officer will confiscate your license, and you will be taken to the police station for processing, including a search, fingerprinting, and mug shots. Your license will be immediately suspended; however, in some states you may be able to schedule an administrative hearing to acquire a temporary license until your trial.

While the consequences of a DUI or DWI are quite severe, if you were in the wrong, you may simply choose to plead guilty and accept your punishment. In some states, you may be offered the option of taking classes to reduce the penalties associated with your DUI or DWI. If you feel the charge was unfair or inaccurate, you will likely need a lawyer specializing in DUI law and DWI laws.
