A Former Prosecutor And Experienced Trial Attorney Working For You

With so much at stake, you want to know that your lawyer has the experience to handle your situation. Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, Kalie Lydon was a prosecutor in New Hampshire. She has years of experience defending people accused of drunk driving.

First Offense

A first offense DUI can be a stressful and frightening experience. Lydon Law attorneys can answer your questions and fight to obtain optimal results in your case. Most first-time DWI offenders are eligible for a hardship license and can often avoid the harshest DWI penalties by completing an alcohol education program.

Second Offense

The penalties for a drunk driving charge increase with a second offense DWI, and you face hefty fines and possible jail time. You may be eligible for a hardship license, but you might be required to have an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installed at your expense. The IID is a breath-alcohol monitoring device that is connected to your vehicle’s ignition. A driver must register a BAC of .02% or less to start the engine and must complete random re-tests to continue operating the vehicle.

Lydon Law’s DWI attorneys can fight for an alternate disposition that could involve probation, in-patient treatment, a driver’s license suspension, and installation of an IID.

Felony DWI

A felony is the most serious type of criminal charge a person can face. A conviction for felony DWI often carries a mandatory jail sentence and will be part of your permanent criminal record that can be accessed by employers and landlords. You may be facing felony DWI charges if you have prior DWI convictions or if someone was seriously injured or killed in an accident that was caused when you were driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

How the DWI Attorneys at Lydon Law Can Help

Our DWI attorneys can carefully analyze your situation, including whether the police had probable cause to pull you over and whether they violated your constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

We can help you navigate the complexities of a DWI charge and will explain honestly and clearly what your rights and legal options are. You may be eligible for alternative sentencing, such as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, which may reduce some of the consequences associated with a DUI/DWI conviction. We can also help you obtain a hardship license so you can get back on the road with minimal disruption to your life.

Regardless of your situation, our DWI lawyers will thoroughly investigate the charges against you and mount a vigorous defense designed. If you are facing a license suspension, we can discuss your rights and help you get back on the road.
