A DWI in Irving is Expensive. Let Us Step In To Help.
Not many things will cause more anxiety than going through an arrest for DWI.
It’s a common crime in Dallas County, but that doesn’t mean stiff penalties won’t follow a conviction. Prosecutors in Irving certainly don’t forgive DWI offenses easily, so you need a hard-nosed fighter at your side.
A DWI Can Cost You Fines and Land You In Jail
The offense might be common, but the sentences are harsh.
Just look below if you have any doubts.
These are the sentences for DWI:
First offense:
- As much as a $2,000 fine
- From three days to six months in jail
- Losing your license for 365 days
Second offense:
- As high as a $4,000 fine
- Anywhere from one to twelve months in jail
- A suspension of your license for as many as two years
Third+ offense:
- AS high as a $10,000 fine
- Between two and ten years in prison
- A suspension of your license for as many as two years
- Permanent felony record
These sentences only increase if a child was in the vehicle or if there was any associated property damage – including any bodily harm.
Don’t Risk Your Future For One Mistake
Other fallout from a DWI includes losing your license, damage to your reputation, and increased insurance rates.
There is also a lingering criminal record that can make it hard to find a job.
If you are arrested for DWI, find an experienced lawyer who knows the area. Having a strong fighter at your side is essential during this process.
