Are You Facing DUI/DWI Charges?
An arrest in connection with a crime such as drunk driving is one of those events that can quickly snowball into a much bigger problem than it first appeared.

Even for first-time offenders, Louisiana’s DWI penalties are extremely serious. You may not go to jail, but you will almost certainly face a months-long driver’s license suspension, as well as increased insurance rates. You will also have a criminal record. If you should be arrested and convicted again of a drug or DUI crime, you will face stiffer penalties — including the very real possibility of jail time.
A DWI Conviction Can Sentence You to Unemployment
The financial impact of a DWI conviction can be dramatic. Without driving privileges, many people find they cannot keep their jobs. This is especially true for those with CDLs (commercial driver’s license), and a loss of family income can result. Car insurance rates will increase after a DWI conviction, resulting in further financial pressure.

There are many excellent reasons to fight a DWI arrest, and there are so few reasons to simply accept the citation without trying to lessen the negative consequences.
