| License risk | 6-month license suspension for a first offense (ignition interlock restricted license usually available); 24 hours to 1 year of jail exposure. |
Frequently asked questions
DWI — driving while intoxicated — under Ark. Code § 5-65-103 for adult drivers at .08 BAC or while impaired. Arkansas reserves 'DUI' for drivers under 21 under its underage law.
The Office of Driver Services begins an administrative suspension separate from your criminal case, and the window to request a hearing is only days. That deadline is why contacting an attorney immediately matters more than anything else you do this week.
Because the work can't be known in advance — it depends on the stop, the breath or blood testing, prior offenses, and whether suppression issues exist. We connect you with a licensed Arkansas attorney who evaluates the case before discussing strategy or cost.
Most first offenders can obtain an ignition interlock restricted license and keep driving to work during the 6-month suspension. An attorney handles the eligibility and paperwork alongside the criminal defense.
It happens when the evidence has problems — an unlawful stop, botched field sobriety testing, or breath machine certification gaps. No attorney can promise it; the honest answer comes only after reviewing your file.
