New Hampshire DWI Defense Lawyers With a Proven Track Record

If I’ve Been Charged with DWI in New Hampshire Will I Be Convicted?

Many people assume that when they receive a DWI charge, they have very little hope of winning their case. In this video, Ted Lothstein explains why DWI charges in New Hampshire don’t always lead to convictions.

What You Need to Know

The drunk driving attorneys at Lothstein Guerriero, PLLC have extensive experience with NH DWI & DUI cases. If you’ve been cited for drunk driving in New Hampshire, here’s what you need to know:

  • If you are convicted of a DWI / DUI, you face the prospect of a lengthy loss of your license or right to operate in NH – months or even years without a driver’s license.
  • You face legal time deadlines that can hurt your case if you don’t act quickly enough.
  • However, contrary to popular conceptions, many people are found not guilty of NH DWI/DUI offenses and DWI charges are often dismissed as the result of litigation or negotiated pleas.
