The DWI DEFENSE Legal Group

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

The DWI DEFENSE Legal Group is a law firm in Manchester, NH . The law firm, located at 195 Elm Street, Manchester, NH 030101, focuses on DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) defense. It's managing partner is Olivier Sakellarios, a longtime criminal defense lawyer in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

DWI laws are complicated and the penalties very severe. A first offense DWI is a misdemeanor and carries with it a possible one year license loss and a $1,000.00 fine.[1] An aggravated DWI is a first offense DWI under certain circumstances which augment the charge and results in mandatory jail time. [2] Such factors can include, driving in excess of 30 mph over the speed limit, transporting a minor in the vehicle, causing an accident which results in serious bodily injury or trying to elude law enforcement. A second DWi conviction within a ten year period also carries with it a mandatory period of incarceration.[3]

While the threshold for impairment in New Hampshire is .08% BAC (blood alcohol content), drivers can still be prosecuted if they blow under .08.[4] for minors, the threshold impairment level is .02% BAC. A conviction for DWI is considered a major motor vehicle offense in New Hampshire and can lead to being certified as an habitual offender.[5]
