DUI / DWI Law Answers
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. most states, like CT, have a look back provision in the DWI statute that says that the state wil ignore a DWI older than 10 years from the 2nd DWI for purposes of a penalty for the offense. If more than 13 years have past then you may be treated as a first offender. I suggest hiring a lawyer to determine whether you can be treated as a first offender.
