Aggressive DUI Representation
- Conviction for a first-offense DUI can result in an eight-month license suspension with no opportunity for a restricted license to drive to work. On top of that are fines, surcharges and higher car insurance rates.
- Penalties multiply for a second DUI, with probable jail time and loss of driving privileges for at least one year. A third drunk driving conviction carries a mandatory six-month jail term and a 10-year revocation of license.
