You could be looking at a lengthy prison term and a period of probation, as well as fines and victim restitution, depending on the circumstances of your case. The penalties associated with DUI cases can be avoided when you work quickly to obtain help from a legal professional. If you are facing these types of charges, it is imperative to have a DUI defense attorney on your side to help you understand your options.
