Punishment
There are two categories of punishment for DWI and DUI in Missouri - administrative suspension and criminal conviction. The Marks Law Firm, L.L.C. can help you with both. Here's a quick review:
Administrative Suspension: On the heels of being charged with a DWI or DUI, you only have 15 days to file for an Administrative Hearing with the Department of Revenue. If you fail to do so, you will lose your license which can severely impact your ability to earn a living. This can happen even if you are cleared of any criminal charges.
Criminal Conviction: While the administrative suspension is an issue with the Department of Revenue, criminal charges are issued by the jurisdiction in which you were arrested. The possible results of a conviction range from points on your driver's license to fines to jail time, depending on the circumstances.
