What is the Difference Between DUI and DWI?

DUI stands for driving under the influence – whether that’s under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Regardless of your criminal history or arrest record, if you have been hit with a DUI, there is a lot of the line. You could lose your driver’s license for six to 12 months, be fined, be forced to undergo community service, or in some cases, be sentenced to jail time. The good news is, with an experienced professional in your corner, you can avoid harsh penalties and move on with your life.


DWI stands for driving while impaired. Although similar to a DUI, a DWI generally means the driver was impaired due to recreational or prescription drugs. A DUI typically refers to driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal limit. If you’ve been arrested for DWI, the first step is contacting a trusted attorney. With robust representation, you can reduce or, in some cases, eliminate your penalty.ļ»æ

Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?

As a licensed driver, you have already given implied consent for testing by a police officer who has probable cause to believe that you are under the influence of an intoxicating substance. The police officer might ask you to stand on one leg, walk in a straight line, recite the alphabet, or submit to a breathalyzer test. You do have the right to refuse, but know that in many states, you will lose your driver’s license immediately. However, our DUI/DWI legal team might be able to intervene more effectively on your behalf in that case. If, on the other hand, you’ve already submitted to a test, there’s still hope. In some cases, we can show that the results of a urinalysis, blood alcohol, or breathalyzer test are questionable due to faulty calibration, human error, weather conditions or medical situations. So never lose hope. We can help. Contact our experienced DUI legal team today.

Is It Possible to Get Past DUI Convictions Expunged or Sealed?

Depending on the state and the circumstances in which your conviction occurred, our DUI attorneys can look at your situation and local law to see if your situation qualifies for expungement or sealing. If you do qualify, it’s well worth the effort to petition the court to seal or expunge your records. Whether your records are sealed from public view or completely destroyed (expungement), they’ll no longer be visible to creditors, employers, or other decision-makers. If you have a prior conviction, our DUI legal team might be able to help. Book an appointment with one of our DUI lawyers today.

Navigating the Nuances of DWI Arrests

That way, you give yourself the best chance of minimizing the severity of your penalty. And best case scenario, you can overturn the charge and walk away unharmed. Let’s discuss your unique circumstances.
