Can I go to Prison for Drunk Driving?

DWI/DUI charges can come with serious penalties, sometimes including incarceration. If this is your first drunk driving offense, you may only be jailed 72 hours to 180 days. However, you may not have to face time in prison at all. If it is your second offense, though, you can face 30 days to an entire year in jail. A third offense may result in incarceration lasting two to ten years. Of course, if your case includes other factors, such as intoxication assault or manslaughter, this prison time can increase considerably.

At the Law Offices of Chris S. Barnett, we understand the severe repercussions of a DWI conviction, including time in jail. However, we may be able to have your charges reduced or even dismissed.
