Multiple DWI Lawyer in San Antonio

San Antonio DWI Attorney

Being arrested for DWI and already having a prior DWI conviction can bring about significantly greater penalties than a first offense. If convicted of DWI 2nd, you could be facing:

• Jail sentence of up to 1 year
• Fine of up to $4,000
• Long-term probation
• Many hours of community service
• Court ordered driving classes and programs for substance abuse
• Suspension of your driver's license for up to 1 year
• Ignition interlock device for your vehicle, installed at your expense
• Electronic leg monitor
• Required Antabuse medication to prevent drinking
• Extremely negative impact on your legal record, which can make it difficult to find and maintain employment, limit your housing options and any other opportunities where your criminal record must be divulged or looked up by conducting a background check.

If you or someone you care about has recently been arrested for a 2nd DWI, and already has a previous DWI conviction, your first step should be to speak with a competent San Antonio criminal defense attorney about the situation. It is also crucial that you do not discuss your legal matter with anyone but your lawyer, as anything you say could potentially harm the integrity of your case's defense.
