A DWI in Del Valle is Serious. Don’t Go Down Without a Fight.
One of the first things we stress to our new clients is how serious this situation is. We know you need to start working on a strong defense immediately.
You’ll find that no matter how long you have lived in Del Valle, TX, it doesn’t matter what you did in your life up to this point. When sentencing, Travis County prosecutors will look to impose severe fines, restrictions, and even jail time for DWI convictions. Someone facing their first conviction faces up to a $2,000 fine and as many as six months in jail. The next time? Well, a second offense can mean $4,000 and 12 months in county jail.
If you find yourself with a third DUI arrest, that is a felony and the penalties are very steep. You will face anywhere from two to ten years in prison, and as much as $10,000 in fines.
There is also a license suspension penalty that can make it harder to get to work. You can get a penalty of up to two years, depending on the severity of the charges against you.
Numerous charge enhancements include a guideline for DWI with child endangerment, DWI with bodily injury, and DWI manslaughter. These will increase the penalties against you if convicted.
Why You Need to Fight Back
DWI is a relatively common charge that doesn’t have to ruin your life. There are still important reasons to fight the charges against you.
Incarceration, steep monetary penalties, and loss of your license are just the beginning. We can fight to make sure you don’t lose your DL before you even get convicted. There are also insurance premiums to consider. They will spike after a DWI conviction. You will also have a record that can make credit checks difficult to pass when looking to rent a home.
The reality is that this is a precarious time, and you need guidance to get through it without too much fallout. We help you get your life back on track.
