- Serious fines

I Got A DWI, Now What?
The first time you get a DWI, it will likely be a misdemeanor and not a felony. However, there are some circumstances that can cause first-time DWIs to be felonies. If someone is killed or injured as a result of you driving under the influence, that makes it a felony. If your license was restricted, suspended, or revoked before the incident, or if your BAC was especially high, that also constitutes a felony.
Usually, consequences for a DWI include a suspended license and/or a treatment program. Repercussions are often severe and can be far-reaching into the future. The best thing to do after being charged with a DWI is to enlist the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable DWI Defense Attorney.
