so you’re here in Washington DC and

you’re a first time DUI offender you’re

scared you want to know what are the

penalties so under the law the maximum

penalty for a first-time DUI would be a

maximum of 180 days of jail and or a

thousand dollar fine however if you are

a first-time offender and the facts

around your DUI are generally benign

nobody was hurt no major accidents then

the chances of you either not doing any

jail time or doing very little jail time

are very high however if you are a

first-time offender and the facts

surrounding your DUI arrest are somewhat

benign again nobody was hurt no major

property damage then with an experienced

expert criminal defense attorney it’s

very likely that your case could get

dismissed
