Nebraska Driving While Intoxicated Law

In common with many other States, a DWI arrest in Nebraska will lead to two cases being brought against the defendant, a criminal case and a Department of Motor Vehicles case. If you have been arrested for DWI in Nebraska, you have only 10 days in order to apply for a hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles in order to retain your driver's license. It is therefore essential that you contact a Nebraska DWI lawyer as soon as possible.

Charges for DWI in Nebraska can be prosecuted either on the basis of Blood Alcohol Concentration, which is currently set at a maximum of 0.08% or through proving impairment through “field sobriety tests”, driving patterns or through the testing of breath, blood or urine. A skilled DWI lawyer will be able to handle each of these situations.

Conviction Punishment
First Maximum 60 day jail term and fine of $500, mandatory 7 days in jail and $400 fine, 90 day suspension of license or 6 months if sent to jail.
Second Mandatory 30 days incarceration and $400 fine, maximum 90 days in jail and fine of $500, 1 year suspension of license.
Third Mandatory jail term of 90 days and $500 fine, maximum of 1 year incarceration and $600 fine. 1 year suspension of license or 15 years if you sent to jail.
