Our nationwide coverage means that Fowler Law Firm PC understands that, while a DUI/DWI offense may have similar broad consequences across states, the details are far from uniform. For instance, the definition of impairment can differ, with some states considering factors like the presence of drugs or medication. We delve into each state's unique criteria, which impacts the defense approach that we construct for you.

When it comes to punishments, not only do fines and jail terms vary, but so do the thresholds of what constitutes a repeat offense. Some states may look back five years to determine if an offense is repeated, while others may reach back even further. Knowing these nuances is essential for a solid defense, and that's where our localized knowledge comes into play.

Losing one's driving privileges is often one of the most immediate and challenging consequences of a repeat DUI/DWI. The length of time a license can be suspended or revoked varies greatly. We have seen how different states impose different conditions for reinstatement, including the requirement for ignition interlock devices or DUI education programs.

At Fowler Law Firm PC, we advocate for our client's well-being and rehabilitation, not just their legal defense.

Whether it's a short-term intervention program, a long-term treatment plan, or community service, our team will ensure you're aware of every option. More importantly, we'll help align them with your personal and legal needs.
