Booze It and Lose It also uses social media, television, and other media to reach out to drivers to warn them about the dangers of drunk driving.
How much does a DWI cost?
While most people understand legal fees for DWI charges are to be expected, you may not understand the true, full cost of a DWI arrest.
DWI charges often have unexpected consequences. Even getting arrested and accused carry a tremendous social stigma – Bill Powers, DWI Lawyers Charlotte NC
