Drinking and driving have led to many deaths in Washington, D.C., and across
the nation. In an effort to curb drunk driving accidents, the government
has increased the penalty for driving under the influence (DUI) and the
mandatory jail time for those with high blood alcohol content levels.

a Washington, D.C. DUI lawyer immediately.

What Are the Penalties for a DUI in Washington D.C.?
Even for a first-time DUI, penalties can include:
- Up to 180 days in jail
- Up to $1,000 in fines
- Up to 6 months of driver's license suspension
Though drunk driving offenses are typically charged as
misdemeanors, repeat offenses lead to longer jail time and higher fines. In addition
to aggravated criminal penalties, you could be subjected to higher insurance
premiums or even the possibility of denied coverage. If your job depends
on having a valid driver's license, you may be unable to continue
in your line of work.

We have handled numerous drunk driving cases and are aggressive when developing

For each case, we look at important issues in a drunk driving case, such as:
- Were you illegally stopped? Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to
believe you were driving under the influence?
- Were your tests administered properly? Was the officer trained to administer
them? Were there issues with the breathalyzer, field sobriety tests, or
other test results?
- Do you have preexisting medical conditions that could affect testing results?
- Were your test results contaminated by a lab or mishandled?
- Were your Constitutional Rights violated? Were you read your Miranda rights?
