Understanding DWI in Oklahoma

To provide the best defense, it’s important to understand how DWI charges work in Oklahoma. Unlike Driving Under the Influence (DUI), which applies to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, a Driving While Impaired (DWI) charge applies to drivers with a BAC between 0.06% and 0.07%. You can also be charged with a DWI if an officer believes your ability to drive was notably impaired, even if your BAC is below 0.06%.

Oklahoma law requires specific evidence to support a DWI charge, including demonstrating that the driver violated state or municipal laws or showed impairment that posed a threat to public safety. Additionally, a person cannot be convicted of DWI solely based on a low BAC reading; other evidence of impairment must also be presented.

While DWI charges are typically considered misdemeanors in Oklahoma, they can still carry serious penalties. Having an experienced legal team at your side is essential to contest the charges and mitigate potential consequences.

Potential Penalties of DWI Convictions

A DWI conviction in Oklahoma can lead to a range of penalties, including financial, administrative, and personal consequences. The exact penalties depend on factors such as prior convictions and the circumstances of the arrest.

Fines and Jail Time

First Offense: Up to $500 in fines and/or six months in jail.
Second Offense: Higher fines and longer jail sentences, depending on the timeline between offenses.
Third Offense: Possible felony charges with even steeper penalties.

License Suspension

First Conviction: 30-day suspension with no modified driving privileges.
Second Conviction: Six-month suspension, potentially eligible for Class D driving privileges.
Third Conviction: One-year suspension with possible modification for Class D privileges.

Additional Consequences

Mandatory alcohol assessment and education programs.
Points added to your driving record.
Potential increases in car insurance rates.

These penalties highlight the importance of having knowledgeable representation capable of advocating for reduced or dismissed charges.

How Hunsucker Legal Group Builds a Strong Defense

Every case is unique, and our dedicated attorneys at Hunsucker Legal Group approach each one with the care and precision it deserves. Below are key ways we work to protect your future when facing a DWI charge.

Thorough Investigation

We examine every detail of your case, including police reports, breathalyzer and field sobriety test results, video evidence, and body cam footage. This meticulous investigation often uncovers procedural errors, equipment malfunctions, or other flaws that can weaken the prosecution’s case.

Challenging Legal and Procedural Issues

Many DWI charges stem from improper processes, such as unlawful traffic stops or insufficient evidence of impairment. We challenge these errors to ensure your rights are protected.

Negotiating Reduced Penalties

When dismissal isn’t an option, we aggressively negotiate with prosecutors to secure reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, such as deferred sentences that avoid a conviction on your record.

Defending You in Court

Should your case go to trial, our attorneys are experienced litigators who will build a compelling defense strategy to counter the prosecution’s claims and present evidence that supports your innocence.

With a deep understanding of Oklahoma’s DWI laws and an unwavering commitment to client success, we’re prepared to handle even the most complex cases.

Why Legal Representation Is Critical

Even though DWI is considered a lesser charge than DUI, the repercussions can still affect your finances, career, and personal life for years to come. Without proper legal representation, you risk facing maximum penalties and losing the chance to challenge the charges against you.

At Hunsucker Legal Group, we provide the advocacy you need to navigate this challenging time. Our team has extensive experience handling DWI cases in Norman and knows how to contest the evidence, leverage weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and fight for your rights.
