DWIs in Copperas Cove Are Expensive. We Can Help.
It’s terrifying to be arrested for DWI. We know.
Defined as having a BAC at or above .08%, a DWI is one of the most common offenses residents of Copperas Cove are arrested for.
Unfortunately, Texas and the Coryell County prosecutor don’t look kindly upon DWI offenders, and the punishments are severe. That’s where Michael & Associates comes in.
A DWI is Costly and Stressful
Just because it’s a common offense, you might assume DWI charges carry light sentences.
Guess again.
The guidelines for sentencing are as follows:
First offense
- As high as a $2,000 fine
- Between 3 days and 6 months in jail
- Suspension of your license for up to a year
Second offense
- As high as a $4,000 fine
- From one to twelve months in jail
- Suspension of your license for as many as two years
Third offense
- As high as a $10,000 fine
- From two to ten years in prison
- Suspension of your license for as many as two years
- Felony record
That doesn’t even count any enhanced penalties, such as driving with a minor passenger.
Don’t Take a Chance With Your Future
Other downsides to a conviction include the suspension of your license, it becomes harder to find a job, and there is a spike in your insurance rates.
The stakes are as high as can be, so you owe it to yourself to get the best attorney available.
