Put A Former Prosecutor On Your Side

Defense For Repeat DWI Offenders

First offenders convicted of a DWI often still find some leniency from the system. Repeat offenders, however, are often given the full brunt of sentencing. With each additional offense, the consequences become increasingly harsh as the court considers you a threat to public safety. Repeat offenders can be charged with a felony. This level of DWI offense is serious, and a felony DWI lawyer should be hired.

If you have two or more DWI convictions on your record, you may be charged with a third-degree felony. Fines can mount up to $10,000, and you may be sentenced to as many as 10 years in prison. You will likely also be required to have an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle to ensure that the car will not start if you are over a certain blood alcohol content level.

Second-degree felony charges often involve an accident that resulted in a death. These sentences are very harsh: jail sentences can be as long as 20 years and fines can reach $10,000.

Facing these charges without the skill of a veteran criminal defense attorney can result in you receiving the full extent of the court’s ability to sentence. An experienced lawyer can guide you through the process of working toward a minimized sentence.
