What is OWI-2nd?
by David A. Cmelik Law PLC
Second offense drunk driving in Iowa is an aggravated misdemeanor criminal offense punishable by at least 7 days in jail, no more than two years in prison, and fines ranging from $1,875 to $6,250. Upon conviction, an Iowa driver’s license will be revoked for one year if not otherwise administratively revoked because of a breath, blood, or urine test failure and two years for a test refusal. The Iowa DOT will notify the issuing state for out of state licensees.
An Iowa-licensed attorney should be retained to review any and all written and electronic discovery/evidence to determine strengths and defects of the prosecution in such an Iowa OWI (DUI) criminal case.
