If you were arrested for a DWI in New Hampshire, you can expect to face some serious penalties. The way the DWI laws work in NH, you will be facing a license suspension and heavy fines, even for a first offense. This is important to understand for all of those drivers who think they will get off easy because they have never been in trouble before. Add to that the many out of court penalties you will face such as increased car insurance rates, having to pay for transportation because you can’t drive, and the social stigma attached to a DWI. Once you take that all into account you will realize that you can’t afford to get convicted of a DWI.
