Thanks to Lance, my life is well on its way
My third or more DUI conviction is what brought me to seek out Mr. Kennedy. That and my need for an occupational driver's license. Thanks to Lance, my life is well on its way to, God willing of course, being mine. Thank you, sir, and God bless. I absolutely would refer anyone in need of help to Mr. Kennedy and his practice.

A DWI conviction can have serious consequences on various aspects of your life, including your personal and professional reputation, financial status due to fines and increased insurance costs, and your daily mobility if your license is suspended. Proper legal guidance can help mitigate these effects.
What should I do if I'm pulled over for DWI?
If you're pulled over for suspected DWI, remain calm, be polite, and comply with the officer’s requests. You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney. Avoid making statements that can be used against you, and contact legal counsel as soon as possible.
How long does a DWI stay on my record?
The length of time a DWI remains on your record depends on the state. In many cases, a DWI can stay on your driving record for several years. It can affect future employment opportunities, insurance rates, and your driving privileges. Some states offer options for expungement.
What are common DWI penalties?
Common DWI penalties can include fines, community service, license suspension, and even jail time, depending on the severity of the offense and prior convictions. Penalties vary by state, and additional mandatory programs like alcohol education classes may apply.
