Re: dwi

Yes, you do need an attorney. Even though your license was already suspended and you spent 2 days in jail, you are still facing DWI charges in the Gonzales County Court. The range of punishment for a DWI first is up to 180 days in the county jail and a $2,000.00 fine. If you are convicted of DWI you also face expensive surcharges against your driver's license for 3 years.
