Facing DWI Charges in Grand Prairie? We’re By Your Side.
While being charged with a DWI is no fun whatsoever, it’s not the end of the world. Don’t worry, we’re here to help.
DWI stands for driving while intoxicated. You might have also heard of it as a DUI or driving under the influence. In the state of Texas, it’s when someone operates a car, truck, etc., with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.
At Michael & Associates, we understand that the Dallas County courts and the state take these charges seriously, and we are prepared to defend our clients effectively. That’s why we put up the best defense in town.
The Penalties for DWIs in Grand Prairie Can Be Severe
Many of our clients are shocked to find out that Grand Prairie has lots of DWI cases. You might be, but try to think of someone in your life who has at least had to go to court for one. You probably thought of someone.
Just because they’re common, though, doesn’t mean they’re any less serious.
Here are the possible penalties for DWI convictions:
1st DWI Offense:
- Up to a $2,000 fine by the county
- Between 3 and 180 days in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to a year
2nd DWI Offense:
- Up to a $4,000 fine by the county
- Between 1 and 12 months in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to two years
3rd+ DWI Offense:
- Up to a $10,000 fine by the county
- Between 2 and 10 years in prison
- Loss of driver’s license for up to two years
- A felony on your record
This doesn’t even address the serious enhanced charges that come with driving with a minor in the car.
Put Up a Fight – Get a Defense Team
Have you ever heard of how difficult it is for felons to assimilate back into society after prison? There’s a big stigma in the workplace for people with felony convictions, even when no one was harmed in the process. Third-time offenders face this threat. Even first-time offenders face the possibility of long-term license suspension.
Don’t give up without a fight.
Never try to tackle your DWI charge on your own. Get a strong legal defense team brought in to fight for you in court.
