Different Levels Of Charges Require A Focused Approach
DUI/DWI is a crime that may involve many factors. Each one is considered. In some cases, a person may be suspected of DUI because of erratic driving. In other cases, property can be damaged and innocent bystanders can be hurt or killed. Because of this, there are four levels of charges, each carrying different severities of punishments that take the many factors into account:
Depending on the level of conviction, the consequences can include having your license suspended, revoked or driving privileges seriously limited; you may face time in prison; or have steep fines imposed upon you. Your car could be outfitted with whiskey plates, which alerts authorities that you have been convicted of a DWI. You may also be ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle at your expense if you want to resume driving. An ignition interlock device can command you to pull over and perform random breath tests in order to continue operation of the vehicle.

- Commercial DWI offenses (can’t have a BAC of .04 or above when operating a commercial vehicle)
- DUI cases involving driving under the influence of controlled substances
Judith Samson has successfully advocated for clients in having the charges reduced. She has challenged the validity of the traffic stop, the arrest process, and violations of rights when improper procedures took place during the arrest.
