I have been charged with a DWI, now what? |
Do not make the mistake of thinking that DUI/DWI offenses are not important, serious charges. Minnesota’s Legislature has changed the DUI/DWI laws so that the penalties associated with DUI/DWI convictions are much greater. Depending on whether you have prior convictions for DUI/DWI offenses, common penalties for a DUI/DWI conviction now include:
- Lengthy periods of probation;
- Jail time;
- Higher fines and court costs;
- Mandatory chemical dependency evaluations
- Suspension, revocation, or cancellation of your driver’s license;
- Hundreds of dollars in fees to get you driver’s license reinstated;
- Revocation of your license plates and fees to get new license plates;
- Forfeiture of your motor vehicle;
- Several court appearances resulting in lost time from work; and
- The possibility of prison time.
