Re: dwi@ laws

Your husband should be able to get the record corrected if his brother is willing to tell the truth. For any offense where the person went to jail, there should be a record (fingerprint, mug shot) that would clear your husband.

His brother is guilty of identity theft, which is a felony.

It will take some time and might cost some money, but if your husband is planning to work as a commercial driver, he needs to take care of this.

There should be attorneys in your area willing to help you.
