You may be tempted to pay the fines, jump through the hoops and move on with your life. That course of action can expose you to criminal charges and the collateral consequences that come with having a criminal record. Additionally, any OWI can result in the suspension of your license, mandatory alcohol assessment, and the installation of an ignition interlock device. It is essential to have an attorney looking out for you regardless of whether this is your first brush with the law.
