Albuquerque DWI and License Revocation Lawyers Servicing Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Valencia Counties
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is considered a serious offense in New Mexico. In fact, the state has some of the toughest DWI laws in the country and as a result, DWI charges should not be taken lightly. If convicted, you may face severe penalties — even if it is your first offense. In addition to potential fines and incarceration, your driver’s or professional license could be suspended or revoked. You may be required to get an ignition interlock or even lose your job.
