Is getting a DUI a felony in Ohio? (First offense?)
If it is, what degree felony is it?

What else can you be charged with instead of a dui/dwi? (Meaning, you got arrested being drunk but the judge/lawyer lets you plead "down")
What is the criteria for exponging your record? (Adult)
my ex fil has had several instances where he’s been pulled over drunk.. Had work only driving privledges and even had to stay a weekend in what we called ‘Camp Burton’ basically jail-like setting where you learn about the hazards of drunk driving and how to get help to quit.. ect ect.
To the best of my knowledge he’s been caught 4 times driving drunk.. I know he had at least 1 dui on his record…
Now his entire driving record is clean.. No court record exists of him ever getting even a speeding ticket, let alone dui..
His son fathered my daughter.. and he’s been in alot of trouble this year and the same judge has been dismissing all his cases.. I’m just wondering how all their bad behavior is getting pardoned.

It was my first offense. I was an idiot for driving intoxicated, I know. It will never happen again, but do DWIs usually come with three court dates? I am very confused. I am meeting with my lawyer later to settle this out, but does anyone know ahead? Thanks.

i desperately need to know how to get everything done safely without having my total bills going over the roof (where I can get a good free lawyer, what i should be doing before going to court)
this is my first offense and i’ve never gotten any tickets at all before.

I recently received a DWI conviction in S. Jersey (my first offense) and was wondering how much local insurance companies will raise my rate? If anyone has experienced this I’d really appreciate knowing how much their rates rose. Also, is there any certain companies that give better rates to those who have DWI convictions? I appreciate any help.

Thanks!

One paper says June 2, June 4, and June 12. Why so many court dates? Also, my lawyer is coming. Will have I have to stand and talk? This was my first DWI and first offense- how long will my license be suspended. I’m sorry while driving while intoxicated, by the way. That my mistake and I learned from it.

When the police pulled me over I blew a .07 and he wanted me to blow again. I refused because he said I will get arrested whether I blow or not. And so, he arrested me and I blew a .13 at the station. I pleaded not guilty and now I have to be there in August. My question is what are some great DWI lawyers that are well known to help me clear my DWI charge. This is my first offense in DWI. I have only received speeding tickets. PLease give me names and numbers if possible. Thank you

I blew a .117 and told the cops i had been drinking my friend in ny says that i don’t have anything to worry about because this is my first offense but i’m very worried. I already spent 24 hours in jail. I know this is the dumbest thing I have ever done. Please help very worried.I got the ticket in henry county ga (stockbridge)

I was recently arrested for 4th degree DWI. This is a first offense for me. I was pulled over for not having front plates on my car and was given a sobriety test which I failed. I blew a .11 and the legal limit is .08 in my state. I signed all of the papers that were given to me at the police station so this seems like a pretty open and shut case. would it benefit me to get a lawyer? I would hate to spend all that money just to find out that there is nothing that he can do for me.

It was my first offense so I’m a big ignorant on the situation.

I got a DUI/DWI in howard county Maryland. This is my first offense relating to any drunk driving charges. I am truly very sorry and never ever intend to get behind the wheel after this one. My BAC was .19, what are the average fees I am looking at to get out of this one?

Thanks!

i cant afford a lawyer and i cant get qualified for a public defender. most lawyer in this area( fairfax, va) charge about 1200 to 1500. i am a single father barely making to get by i need a lawyer badly but cant afford more than 600 $. if anyone knows a resonable layer please let me know. or if there is another option ? thanks

p.s… DWI in fairfax county, VA / BAC : .08 / first offense / already have been to the court and got a continuance.

i was pulled over for dwi…first offense (.11 BAC) i have the name of a lawyer who is supposed to be the best but he’s 5,500 plus fees for expert witness etc. another lawyer, who i don’t have any info on, is 2,500. i’m unemployed..i need the charge to go away but is spending more on the lawyer more of a guarantee of a better outcome?
