DWI is considered a felony offense in the State of Louisiana.

If you are arrested for DWI in Louisiana it is of the utmost importance to hire an attorney immediately. As soon as you are arrested, the timeframe for taking action is extremely short. You only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver's license.

For first DWI arrests in Louisiana you can expect a minimum 90 day suspension of your driver's license (you can apply for a hardship license after 30 days); and $300-$1000 in fines depending upon your intoxication level.

Due to the serious nature of the penalties involved, it is absolutely critical to hire an experienced DWI attorney as quickly as possible. While it may seem expensive in the short-term, it will save you an enormous amount of money, time, and trouble in the future.
