OWI/DUI/DWI Penalties in Louisiana
In Louisiana, even first-time offenders may face substantial penalties for an OWI/DUI/DWI conviction, including:
- Potential Jail Time
- Fines
- Community Service
- Possible Ignition Interlock Installation on All Vehicles
- Probation
- Court-approved Participation in Substance Abuse and Driver Improvement Programs
If chemical testing indicates you have a particularly high BAC of .20 percent or more, your license will be suspended, and an ignition interlock device will be required on your vehicles. Not to mention, your fines will increase, and you will have to serve a mandatory 48 hours in jail. Keep in mind, these penalties also rise dramatically for each subsequent offense.
Rely on our Louisiana DUI attorneys in Leesville, LA, at Dowden & Smith to defend you and minimize your penalties.
Breathalyzer Refusals
If you think you can avoid a drunk driving conviction by refusing a breathalyzer test, think again.
Not only can you still be convicted of OWI/DUI/DWI based upon other evidence, including officer testimony, but your license will be suspended automatically. So, before you decide to refuse chemical testing, you better weigh your legal options first. Talk to our Louisiana DUI attorneys in Leesville, LA, for legal guidance.
