Frequently asked questions
New Hampshire charges DWI — Driving While Intoxicated — with a separate Aggravated DWI offense for 0.16+ BAC, excessive speed, or a passenger under 16, which carries mandatory jail. Which version you're facing changes everything about the case.
If you failed or refused the test, an administrative license suspension starts on a short fuse — and a refusal brings its own 180-day suspension on top of any criminal penalty. The appeal window is brief, so speak with an attorney immediately.
Because no one can honestly price a DWI without reviewing the stop, the field sobriety testing, the breath or blood evidence, and the ALS posture. Start with a consultation — a licensed New Hampshire attorney will evaluate the case before discussing what the defense requires.
Completing the Impaired Driver Care Management Program promptly can reduce a first-offense revocation from 9+ months to as little as 90 days. Sequencing it correctly alongside the court case is something your attorney manages from the start.
Sometimes — challenges to the stop, the testing procedure, or the ALS process can lead to reduction or dismissal, and NH allows some first convictions to be annulled after a waiting period. What's realistic in your case is exactly what the consultation determines.
