Including fees, fines, and increases to automobile insurance, the cost of a DWI / DUI charge usually totals roughly $6,000.

You can't talk your way out of a DWI / DUI charge. The less you say, the better. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. The constitution grants you the right to remain silent. You should exercise it, and hire an experienced lawyer to speak for you.
Serious Penalties for DWI/DUI Charges
If you are convicted of a drunk driving charge on a first offense, you face a series of tough penalties:
- You will have to spend a period of time in jail
- Your car insurance premiums will rise dramatically for three years
- You will have to pay fines and fees
- You will have to attend a drinking and driver's program
- You will not be able to cross the border into Canada
In many cases, I am able to contest the results of breathalyzer tests and field sobriety tests to cast doubt on whether or not you actually were under the influence. In other cases, police officers commit errors in due process, violating your rights and forcing the charges against you to be dismissed.
I will thoroughly evaluate the circumstances of your case to find out what is the best way to help you. I provide highly personalized, experienced service and I will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have. To schedule an initial consultation, call 607-583-3062 or contact my office online.
