First-Time DUI Charges and Penalties

Being charged with a DUI for the first time can be a frightening experience and you may not know what to expect from our criminal justice system. Even though you may feel overwhelmed, you still have legal options.

Contact Boulahanis & Associates as soon as possible if you have been charged with a DUI or OWVI for the first time. While remembering to stay calm, it is also important that you take action to defend against DUI charge. 

Having any criminal conviction on your record can impact your career, your home life, and if you are a student, could have a negative effect on your scholarships.
