Following an arrest for impaired or drunk driving in West Virginia, you will be facing two separate cases. One is the criminal case that is resolved in the courts. The other is a civil case filed by the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Starting immediately after an arrest for DWI in West Virginia, your license is at risk. Once you receive notice of license suspension, you have a thirty-day window during which you can request a special license hearing and try to retain your driving privileges. If you file a hearing request within the 30 days, you can continue to drive not only until the hearing date, but approximately three to four months past your license hearing until the final decision on the hearing is received. If you do not act in a timely manner, your license will be automatically suspended without a hearing.

Note that West Virginia has an implied consent law that requires motorists to be tested whenever asked by a law enforcement officer. Having a DWI arrest on your record and refusing to submit to a test could result in the lifetime revocation of your license and, at minimum, one full year.

Grant County DWI attorney Harley Wagner has experience with license hearings and he knows how to maneuver this complex process. He can petition the DMV on your behalf and work to help you keep your license. Even in a worst case scenario, Harley Wagner can advise you on how to reduce the duration of the suspension.

Penalties for DWI in West Virginia

Before deciding to ignore your arrest or plead guilty to an offense of drunk driving in Grant County, West Virginia, consider the criminal and civil penalties if convicted. You could be sent to jail, be required to install an ignition interlock device, lose your driver’s license and your auto insurance, be forced to pay significant fines, and be required to enroll in an alcohol education program.

Perhaps the most life-changing consequence of being found guilty of DWI in West Virginia is having a permanent criminal record. This could lead to loss of current job, reduced employment opportunities in the future, a damaged credit score, and even the inability to travel to Canada.

Just because you have been arrested does not make you guilty. There are ways to defend against a DWI and challenge the State’s evidence. You could have the charges reduced to a non-criminal offense, see your case dismissed, or be found not guilty. Hiring experienced Petersburg DWI attorney Harley Wagner can resolve a difficult situation with a positive outcome. Contact him now and ask him to begin building a defense for you.
