Frequently asked questions
What happens to my license after a Mississippi DUI arrest?
Mississippi suspends administratively — separate from the criminal case — and the window to request review is short. Getting an attorney involved immediately protects both the license and the defense.
Why don't you quote a flat fee for DUI cases?
Because no honest lawyer can price a DUI without reviewing the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood evidence. Start with a consultation — a licensed Mississippi attorney will evaluate your case and quote the defense after seeing the facts.
What is Mississippi's non-adjudication option for a first DUI?
Miss. Code 63-11-30(14) lets some first offenders complete conditions — interlock, MASEP, fees — and avoid a conviction entirely. Eligibility has strict requirements, and an attorney can tell you whether your case qualifies and whether it's your best path.
Can a Mississippi DUI be dismissed?
Sometimes — bad stops, improper testing procedure, or broken chain of custody can sink the state's case. Whether those defenses exist in your case is unknowable until the evidence is reviewed, which is what the consultation is for.
How long does a DUI stay on my Mississippi record?
A conviction stays for years and counts against you if there's ever a second charge — Mississippi's lookback makes repeat offenses dramatically worse. Expungement of a first offense is possible after five years, but avoiding the conviction is far better.
