2nd offense DWI amended to 1st offense minimum mandatory

OSSIPEE DISTRICT COURT (April, 2023).

Our client's excellent effort combined with litigation and effective negotiations allowed us to achieve an excellent resolution. 2nd offense DWIs beyond two but less than 10 years from the charged offense carry mandatory minimum penalties including jail time, installation of an interlock device, a $750 and a 3 year loss of license. This client avoided all of these penalties by the State agreeing to reduce this to a first offense DWI. This means they avoided all of the subsequent offense mandatory minimums including jail time and was able to restore their license in six months without installing an interlock device. A truly great result for a very deserving client.
