A DWI CAN AFFECT YOU NOW AND IN THE FUTURE – WHAT CAN YOU DO?

A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge is a very serious and expensive one, and it is also very stressful and distressing.

Having to admit that you have been arrested, or worse, convicted of a DWI is humiliating and can cause serious consequences for your future.

There are many questions that may pass through your mind when you first get stopped after drinking and driving:

A DWI IS EXPENSIVE• Many people are not aware of the

multitude of costs, fines and penalties associated with a DWI.

• If you are unable to get your DWI charges dropped, dismissed or pleaded to a lesser offense, you will soon discover just how expensive a DWI can really be.

• But ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED, it is MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO NOTHING






CONSEQUENCES OF A DWI• A DWI charge or conviction can mean the loss of your job in some cases,

and in most, difficulty in obtaining a job in the future.

• It can mean difficulty with your college admissions or with your military enrollment.

• It can mean an increase in insurance rates or extra penalties and charges on your driver’s license.

• It can mean probation fees, treatment fees, and many other costs to you personally and emotionally.____________________________________________________________________________________________

MORE CONSEQUENCES• With a DWI conviction, you will have

a criminal record.

• With many employers doing background searches as a first line of vetting for employees, it can cause professional, financial and social difficulties for years.
