Being arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in New Mexico can lead to serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time. The state has strict laws regarding DWI/DUI offenses, making it important to have an experienced lawyer to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
What Happens After a DWI/DUI Arrest?
