Repercussions
When faced with a DWI, you face serious repercussions. Depending on the severity and the number of offenses, you could lose your license, spend time in jail, face thousands of dollars in fines, and, if convicted, the offense goes on your permanent record.

Don't leave your future to chance. Select an attorney who will fight for you. At Ross Melton, P.C. we will work for dismissal or reduction of your charge. If we are successful, you may even be able to have your arrest record and fingerprints torn up! Don't let this arrest record affect your job or your future; call us immediately to discuss how we can handle your case.

Take Immediate Action
You have 15 days from the date of arrest to request a hearing on your driver's license. Failure to do so may result in suspension of your license and fines. It is important that you hire legal representation for this hearing to challenge the license suspension. A legal representative can question the arresting officer, advise, and support your case.

Surcharges
Each year, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) assesses a surcharge on the driver's license of drivers who during the past 3 years were convicted of DWI. The surcharge is $1,000 per year for 3 years. A second DWI conviction costs a surcharge of $1,500 per year for 3 years. If the driver had an alcohol concentration of 0.16 or more, the surcharge is $2,000 per year for 3 years.

Call Ross Melton, P.C. immediately to discuss ways we can help keep your driver's license and try to dismissal or reduce your DWI charge. Please be aware that sending an instant message or e-mail and/or receipt of a response does not create an Attorney-Client relationship or constitute the formation of a contract. No obligation is created on the part of the sender or the recipient. A contract of representation can only be created by signature of an Attorney-Client Agreement.
