Will a judge show leniency if the DUI charges are 6 and 1/2 years apart?

Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
Each judge is different, but generally a second offense is always worse than a first offense no matter how long the time period has been. The impression many judges will have, accurate or not, is that you have been drinking and probably driving during this interval and you have just now been caught again. It's not unheard of for a lot of judge to sentence you to some jail time for a second offense so I would strongly urge you to retain an experienced DUI attorney in your area. The penalties are much more severe than first offense DUI and since it's been less than seven years, you are looking at a mandatory loss of your driver's license and that can be a costly nightmare in terms of time, money, and effort to get back. Have a DUI attorney thoroughly review the case against you for the best possible outcome.

You do not have to have an attorney. You can tell the judge that you want a trial. The police officer will have to testify and you can cross examine him. You do not have to testify. If the officer does not show up for trial, you can ask the judge to dismiss the charges.
