What to Expect After a DWI Arrest in Arkansas
A DWI arrest in Arkansas triggers both criminal charges and significant administrative penalties—meaning you could face not only complex court proceedings but also immediate and potentially severe repercussions against your driver's license. In many situations, you only have a brief window of time—often just a matter of days—to request a hearing with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) in order to contest your impending license suspension.
If you miss this crucial step, your license could be automatically suspended—regardless of the eventual outcome of your criminal case. This underscores the importance of contacting an attorney immediately after your arrest, as time is of the essence in these circumstances. At Lemley Law Partners, our team is dedicated to helping you take swift, informed action to safeguard your driving privileges while concurrently beginning to build a strong defense on your behalf without any unnecessary delay. We understand the stress this situation can cause and are here to support you through every step of the process.
What DWI Means in Arkansas
In Arkansas, DWI applies specifically to drivers aged 21 and older who are operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. Most commonly, this includes anyone with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. However, even drivers under that threshold can be charged if they are showing signs of impairment.
For drivers under 21, a separate charge—DUI (Driving Under the Influence)—may apply if any amount of alcohol is detected and their BAC is under 0.08%. However, if the situation involves higher levels of intoxication, an accident, or other aggravating factors, underage drivers may also face DWI charges.
Understanding how these classifications work is essential to building a strong defense—and our team will take the time to explain every step.
