Little is more stressful than being charged with a DWI / DUI in the District of Columbia. The stakes are high and the cases move very fast. People who are in positions of trust -- such as police, prosecutors, and other law enforcement officials -- are suddenly "on the other side."

The District's DWI / DUI law is surprisingly complicated. The law occupies several pages of the D.C. Code. Conversely, the law outlawing murder is a mere sentence! It also involves proceedings in both the Superior Court and the DMV.

Washington, D.C. cases can involve constitutional issues, statutory construction issues, scientific issues, and factual issues.

This site is designed to give you an overview of D.C. DWI / DUI law. Do not rely on it for legal advice. Every case is different depending on the facts. Be sure to consult a lawyer for your specific case.

This page will not tell you how to “get off” of a DWI or DUI in the future. There is only one 100% way to avoid a DWI conviction -- don’t drink and drive. This means, do not even have one beer before getting behind the wheel of an automobile. Washington, D.C. is one of the few jurisdictions with an effective zero tolerance law. The laws in Washington, D.C. are extremely strict; and a conviction will result in very harsh punishment. It is just not worth it.
