Our experts spent time compiling this information just for you. Think of DUI America.com as a virtual encyclopedia for DUI/DWI information. While every state has some sort of drunk driving statute in place, the consequences of a DWI/DUI differ drastically from one state to the next.

We wanted to create this information resource to help you understand your state’s specific DUI/DWI laws.
Should you hire a DUI defense lawyer to represent you?
This really depends on your financial situation, your state’s specific laws and your personal situation. You may want to hire a lawyer if you are confused or don’t understand your rights or your state’s laws. You may not know what to do or what penalties you could face. You’ll probably want to hire a lawyer if you’ve been arrested for a second DWI or were arrested with a BAC limit over double your state’s legal limit. You could face harsher penalties without a lawyer to represent you.
What can my lawyer do for me?
First, your lawyer will assess your legal situation. Some lawyers even offer a free consultation. They will help you understand what you are up against.
Your lawyer will also explain the consequences. Your DUI lawyer will be able to explain your state’s specific penalties for a DWI/DUI charge. And they will also help you manage the process by dealing with your state’s DMV, filling out forms and making phone calls. Lastly, they will represent you in court. They will be able to defend you and perhaps lessen or ultimately have your charges dismissed.
When you’re ready, simply click on the state you reside to find useful information on your state’s DUI/DWI laws. We’ll help connect you with an experience DUI/DWI lawyer who represents your state.
