Manchester DWI Attorney

Individualized Service. Aggressive Advocacy.

You might be hoping that because DWIs are fairly common charges, they are viewed less seriously. Unfortunately, that hope is misplaced.

Protect yourself from overzealous prosecution with a firm that has been around for more than 40 years. Brennan Lenehan Iacopino & Hickey proudly serves clients from all walks of life throughout the State of New Hampshire. We provide representation that is personalized to your needs and thoroughly prepared. We explore every avenue available to you and work to reach the best possible outcome. While we cannot guarantee a specific result, our experienced Manchester DWI lawyers can go the extra mile on your behalf.

Penalties for a First-Offense DWI in New Hampshire

You can be arrested for a DWI if your blood alcohol content is.08 percent or above. If you are a commercial driver, the BAC limit is .04 percent, and if you are under 21, the BAC limit is .02 percent.

Penalties for a first-offense DWI (over 21) include the following:

• Fines between $500 and $1,200
• Mandatory license suspension of nine months up to two years
• Screening assessment within 14 days of conviction
• Completion of a state-approved DWI course
• Potential installation of an ignition interlock device

Although the minimum mandatory license suspension is nine months, the driver can petition for license reinstatement after 90 days in some cases.

Can I Refuse a Breath or Blood Test?

Refusal of a test means automatic license suspension and the likelihood that your refusal will be used against you in court to attempt to prove your guilt. Our attorneys can work with you to try to get your license reinstated and help inform you of your best options.
