Harry Warden, top DWI lawyer on Ludwig Law Firm's DWI Defense team, is an aggressive litigator with an excellent record of case wins in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
Harry takes a straightforward approach to his DWI work, focusing on aggressively attacking flaws in the stop by the police. Harry knows that the state has to prove two things to convict you of a DWI charge - that you were intoxicated, and that you had control of the motor vehicle. If they can't prove those two things, then we have an extremely high likelihood of winning your case. Speaking of winning - Harry won several DWI cases in 2025, including complete dismissal of charges of clients who blew above a .08.
Harry's tireless work and knowledge of Arkansas law has distinguished him as one of the best in the state. Harry has been recognized by Superlawyers as a Rising Star in the Midsouth for the past two years in a row, and has a 4.9/5-star rating on Google and a 10/10 rating on Justia.

Absolutely! Most DWI consequences can either be reduced or eliminated if DWI charges are dismissed or reduced to a lesser offense.
For example, if you act quickly and call our office, a skilled DWI/DUI lawyer can request a DMV hearing to save your license, and use trial-proven defense strategies to secure a positive outcome to your case.
Typically, the fine range for a DWI 1st Offense in Arkansas is between $150 and $1,000. A $5,000 fine is more common for repeat offenses, like a DWI 2 or a DWI 3.
There are two ways to escalate a DWI to a felony.
The first is having several repeat offenses. If you are convicted of a fourth DWI offense within a 10-year period, the charge will be bumped up to a Class D Felony.
The second way is when there are aggravating circumstances surrounding the DWI event. These include:
If you are dealing with a felony DWI, call our firm immediately. We frequently defend clients with felony DWIs.
This depends on the number of convictions someone has on their record. If it is a first-time offense, you will receive a six-month suspension. If you have a fourth DWI within five years of the first one, this will lead to a four-year suspension.
The distinction between DWI and DUI in Arkansas is made based on the age and BAC level of the driver.
DWI (Driving While Intoxicated): For drivers 21 and older with a BAC of 0.08%+, or when impairment is obvious.
DUI (Driving Under the Influence): For drivers under 21 with a BAC of 0.02%+, even if they don’t appear drunk.
