Repeat DUI/DWI offenses often result in harsher penalties compared to first-time offenses.

With Jackson Law Firm, you can expect comprehensive guidance on all these aspects, tailored to the specific laws of your state.
What Constitutes a Repeat DUI/DWI Offense?
A repeat DUI/DWI offense generally means any subsequent DUI/DWI charge after the first. Whether it's your second, third, or any subsequent DUI/DWI, the stakes are considerably higher each time.

License suspension is a common consequence of repeat DUI/DWI offenses, and the duration can vary tremendously state by state. We're familiar with the legal terrain and can advise you on the likelihood of retaining your driving privileges, and the steps you can take to potentially shorten any suspension period being imposed.
