One should be informed that being charged with a DWI offense has dire consequences to the offender if found guilty under the law. These include: fines, conviction, loss of license, incarceration, family fall out, and even loss of employment. One can be fined from the word go. Being tagged with a fine to pay is one of the most lenient outcomes the offender can get his/her hands on. Your driver’s license can be suspended or revoked if you do nothing about it. This is one of the worst nightmares a driver can face in today’s world where time is currency. This means he/she will have to use public transport to travel which can be expensive and time-consuming. Also, one can be incarcerated if things go south in court. This means you get to do time in prison which can be detrimental to your mental health and life in general. Prison can be a very cruel and dangerous place to be especially if it is your first time there. It also means you waste valuable time that could well be used elsewhere to better yourself or that of your community. Being convicted can also lead to family fall out in that period in terms of financial stability and emotional stability. Stability is the key pillar of every family, thus without it, it can result in a divorce from one’s partner if married and even mental illnesses to some family members who are yet to come to terms with your situation. Also losing a job or your source of income can occur. This increases your chances of being declared bankrupt when it occurs. That means you cannot be released on a bond or get bail when you need it. The bottom line is that your life can be screwed just like that if you do nothing or you do not take a step to get an attorney/lawyer to represent your case.
