Re: Dui/suspened license

Driving while suspended when the suspension is for DWI carries a 10 to 90 day jail sentence and 1 to 2 year license loss. Regarding the jail, there are a few ways to attempt to avoid jail: (1) win the case at trial, (2) plea-bargain to a lesser offense (unlike the DWI charge, a Prosecutor may plea-bargain a driving while suspended charge), and/or (3) seek a jail alternative that may be available in either the county where the offense occurred or, if possible, in the county where you live.

There is a potential jail sentence. However, this is a fact sensitive situation. Please consult with me via the contact information on the site. You may email the facts to me and start from there. I have managed to prevent jail time in such situtations but added suspension of license is also in the cards. There may be some defences worth exploring given the stakes.
