What You Need To Know About Your DUI/DWI Charge

The severity of penalties for a DUI depends on several factors, including your age, prior DUI convictions and other circumstances of the incident. Regardless of the situation, you may face fines, jail time and the required use of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.

If you’ve been charged with DUI, it’s important to get legal help as quickly as possible. I am Daniel Lewin, a criminal defense attorney committed to protecting your rights and making sure your side of the story is heard. Don’t let one mistake hurt your future – call The Lewin Law Firm, PLLC, at The Lewin Law Firm, PLLC today.

Penalties For Your First And Second Intoxicated Driving Charges

Penalties for your first and second DUI conviction may include:

  • Jail time
  • Fines
  • The required use of an ignition interlock device
  • Community service

Additionally, your license may be revoked for a set period of time and your vehicle may be impounded if you are convicted. However, the sentence depends on the judge and details of the event. For example, if you had an underage passenger in the car, the penalties may be more severe because of the possibility of minor endangerment.

A Third DUI Conviction May Be A Felony

If a third DUI conviction occurs within 10 years of a prior conviction, it is considered a felony. At this point, the potential penalties are generally increased, and your driver’s license could be revoked for up to 10 years. You may also be required to enroll in a substance abuse course. Failure to fulfill all the requirements of your sentence may result in further penalties.
