- Carolyn Van Tine: DUI-DWI Defense
- A cultural stigma has become associated with drunk driving that was
not present in our society even a decade ago. Public perception
categorizes people charged with drunk driving as criminals, even before
they have been convicted of any crime. Being arrested for drunk
driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while
intoxicated (DWI) can be an unsettling proposition, to say the least. A
DUI - DWI conviction in Massachusetts carries with it heavy penalties,
including:
- A permanent criminal record
- Suspension or loss of license
- Increased insurance rates
- Community service
- Possible jail or prison time
- Alcohol assessment and treatment
- Probation
- Vehicle immobilization or forfeiture
- Serious fines
- Possible job loss
If
you have been arrested or accused of drunk driving, DUI, DWI, vehicular
homicide, or any other alcohol-related criminal offense, you are
probably frightened, confused, and concerned about your future and that
of your family. The selection of an experienced attorney is the first
step towards regaining control of your life.
