If you have been arrested for drunk driving, don't give up and assume there is nothing you can do. A DWI conviction could cost you a lot: fines, potential jail time, huge increases in your car insurance rates, suspension of your driver's license — even your job if you have a professional license or work in certain industries.
At the Law Office of Robert S. Toale in Gretna, we have extensive experience helping clients in both criminal DWI/DUI cases and driver's license suspension hearings. Attorney Robert S. Toale has more than 25 years of experience as a criminal trial lawyer. He is dedicated to defending people in the New Orleans metro area who face the serious — often harsh — consequences of a DWI arrest.

When you are arrested for DWI in Louisiana, you only have 15 days to act before your driver's license will be automatically suspended. We will help you request an administrative hearing to keep your driving privileges until the criminal DWI proceedings.
Unless you request a hearing, the amount of time that your license could be suspended depends on your blood-alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the arrest. The higher you are over the BAC limit, the longer your license could be suspended.
The DWI laws always seem to be changing in Louisiana. Make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the latest laws. The penalties for DWI seem to be increasing with every change to the law, so it is important to find an experienced attorney who can beat the charge or at least minimize the impact of a DWI conviction.
