Charges and Penalties

Your past record will have a very significant effect on the charges and penalties you face. Past DUI convictions, a record of license suspension, etc., will increase the possible sentence.

If alcohol contributed to an accident involving injuries or death, you probably will be charged with felony DWI rather than a mere misdemeanor. Fines in the thousands of dollars, years in prison, mandatory rehabilitation, probation, and a permanent record are all possible.
