How can I keep my drivers license after a DWI in Arkansas?

Arkansas DWI laws provide for many different penalties, including the suspension of your drivers license. When you face DUI charges, the suspension of your drivers license for some period of time is, in fact, almost guaranteed. You do, however, have a very limited number of options. These options are:

• Attempting to arrange a plea bargain where you plead down to lesser charges or where you get the prosecutor to agree to allow you to keep your license
• Trying to mount a defense to prove you aren't guilty of the DUI or that there was some problem with the manner in which the police gathered evidence (like lack of probable cause or a faulty breathalyzer machine). If you are successful at defending yourself, the charges could be dropped entirely
• Requesting a restricted license that will allow you to drive for limited periods of time, such as to drive to work or to drive to drop your child off at school. You'll need to prove a genuine need for this license

If you want to keep your license after a DUI, you need to get help from a lawyer who can assist you in deciding on your best course of action.
