Taking DWI Charges Seriously

At Price, McCluer & Plachecki, we understand the severity of DWI/DUI charges and the impact they can have on your life. A first offense can result in fines, license suspension and even jail time. We want to help you or your loved one navigate this difficult situation.

Many people underestimate the seriousness of a DWI charge. You may think that pleading guilty or representing yourself in court is the best option, but that can result in severe consequences. That’s where we come in. Our experienced attorneys can work with you to build a strong defense and help minimize the consequences of criminal charges, including a DWI charge.

Penalties For A First-Time DWI And Repeat Offenses

Getting a first-time DWI in Minnesota can be a costly mistake. You could end up paying up to $1,000 in fines, spending up to 90 days in jail, and having your license revoked for 90 days. You might also be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in your car for 90 days.

A second or subsequent DWI conviction will be much more expensive. It could result in jail time for up to 180 days and permanent revocation of your driver’s license. You might also be required to install an IID in your car for a year or even for life.

In addition to these penalties, a DWI conviction can also have several other consequences, such as:

  • Increased insurance rates
  • Difficulty finding a job
  • Difficulty renting an apartment
  • Loss of social standing

The consequences of driving while impaired are far-reaching and can have a lasting impact on your life.

Defending Your Future

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense that can lead to legal consequences such as fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment. However, the impact of a DWI on your life goes beyond these criminal penalties. You may face noncriminal penalties such as difficulty keeping a job without a car, loss of career opportunities, social repercussions and a mark on your criminal record that can have long-lasting effects on your personal and professional life.

At our law firm, we understand that a DWI charge can be overwhelming and stressful. That is why our experienced attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights. We believe everyone deserves a strong defense and are committed to providing you with the most favorable outcome for your case.
