Is Jail Time Probable for first DUI Offense
I recently received a DUI citation for excessive alcohol
content with an estimated BAC of .22, Do you feel that it
is probable that I will do mandatory jail time if I have
retained the legal services of an experienced DUI attorney ?

Re: Is Jail Time Probable for first DUI Offense
Every county and judge is a little different, so without more information, it is hard to predict.
But - if you BAC is over .2, then the statutes require a 10 day jail sentence. That can be in home detention or work release. If we are able to show that the test was inaccurate in some way, we may be able to get the likely BAC under .2 and get you out of the mandatory sentence. There are ways to do this.
If you respond, let me know how old you are, confirm this is your first DUI anywhere, what county this case is proceeding, and any other information about the test.
