Impaired Driving Lawyer Synopsis of the Law Applicable to this Province or State:
In Alaska, both DWI and Refusal to submit to a breath test are criminal offenses. The offense is a class A misdemeanor (with a maximum sentence of 1 year in jail, $5,000 fine, license revocation, other penalties) unless you have 2 or more DWI or Refusal convictions during the 5 year period immediately prior to the commission of the most recent offense - in which case the offense is charged as a felony. There is a minimum mandatory sentencing scheme if convicted, and the minimum mandatory sentence is determined by the number of prior convictions you have. In addition to the criminal offense, your license will be taken at the time of arrest if you had a breath test result of .08 or greater, or if there is a refusal. It is critical that you request an administrative hearing with the DMV within 7 days of the date of your arrest. Otherwise your license will be automatically revoked by default, even if it later turns out that you have a good defense to the charge, and even if you are not convicted in court.

First Appearance Notes from this Impaired Driving Attorney:

It is critical that you see a lawyer who is experienced in the field of DWI defense as soon as possible after you are charged. Your license will be taken upon arrest, and it is critical that you request a DMV hearing within 7 days after your arrest.
