Do you need a South Dakota DUI attorney?

If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol in South Dakota, and you are under the age of 21, your first and second offenses are considered Class 2 misdemeanors. If you are over the age of 21, your first two offenses are considered Class 1 misdemeanors and the third offense is a Class 6 felony. These are criminal charges and should not be taken lightly as the penalties include fines, loss of the driver's license and, for drivers over the age of 21, imprisonment.

If convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI) these misdemeanors and felonies become a part of your permanent record; you need an attorney to fight for your rights and to keep these convictions off of your record. Potential future employers will see these convictions and, as a result, you will have difficulty finding employment.

Additionally, an attorney can navigate through the complicated court system in South Dakota. If charged with a misdemeanor or a felony you can expect to face bail, arraignments, judge or jury trials, sentencing and appeals. These systems are complex and you need to make sure your rights are protected.
