A conviction for a DWI has serious consequences. To avoid or reduce the consequences, it is important to retain the legal services of the most experienced, knowledgeable DWI defense attorney. The Law Office of Carl M. Ward represents clients throughout the State of Missouri, and have handled DWI cases in nearly (90) Missouri counties.

A one year revocation will result from a second or subsequent conviction for DWI or BAC in your lifetime. For the first 30 days of the revocation, you will not be able to drive legally. After the 30 day “hard walk” period, you may be eligible for a limited driving if you have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle and file proof of insurance (“Sr-22”). You will also be required to keep the interlock on your vehicle for an addition six months from the time your license is reinstated.

A one (1) year point revocation will result from a second or subsequent conviction for DWI or BAC in your lifetime.

You will also be required to keep the interlock on your vehicle for an addition (6) six months from the time your license is reinstated.
