THIRD DUI

QUESTION
“I have a great job which i need to keep to pay my bills i just recently got a 3rd dui and i wanted to know what is the possibility the judge will grant me house arrest if I have a full time job.”

ANDREW’S ANSWER
You need a great lawyer here. Although there is some law that says we cannot avoid mandatory jail minimums in DUI cases, there is a fancy penal code and a different, even more exotic vehicle code section that allows a great defense lawyer to argue around jail in a 3rd time DUI. Nonetheless, we need mitigating material; first step is to enroll yourself in a treatment program, whether you feel you need it or not – this will increase the no jail odds.
