Franklin County Repeat DUI Defense Attorneys
While the first-time DUI offender rarely gets jail time, repeat offenders are truly at risk of mandatory jail time. Even a second DUI offender could spend time behind bars, not to mention a suspended driver's license, if the proper defense strategy is not utilized. Additionally, the jail time, whether it be for 10, 20 or 60 days, must be served consecutively, which can result in loss of employment for most, as well as childcare concerns. Offenders who receive a fourth DUI charge are at risk of being charged with felony DUI and facing life-changing penalties, which include a mandatory minimum of 60 days in prison.

Successful Defense Strategies in Repeat Drunk Driving Cases
Having handled so many DUI cases, also referred to as OVI cases, both for first-time offenders and repeat offenders, we know which strategies to employ for a successful defense.
First of all, even in these cases, the burden of proof is on the state. Prosecutors must prove you are guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. Otherwise, you cannot be convicted. They must have sufficient evidence in order to stop, detain and arrest you. Subsequently, any BAC evidence gathered with Breathalyzer tests and urine or blood tests may not be sufficient, depending on how and when the tests were used. We will deconstruct the prosecution's case, looking for any weakness that we can use to improve your position.
