Wife just picked up for a DWI with a child. What sentence will she get and what is a good estimate for total fines from her charges?

First off, I'm sorry this happened to you and your family.  It's always difficult when a familiy member, especially a spouse, gets in legal trouble.  The first and best thing you can do for your wife is find her the best criminal defense lawyer you can.  DWI with Child Passenger is a state jail felony offense, punishable by 6 months to 2 years in the state jail facility, or probation in certain cases.  Hopefully she did not, as you said, 'take a swing' at the officer as that would land her with a 2-10 year indictment ofr assault of a public servant.  Suffice it to say that this case is very serious.  Call a local criminal defense lawyer...this website is a great place to start your search.  Many of us offer free consultations on these types of cases, and can advise you on how best to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers, then hire the one that you and your wife believe can keep her out of jail.  Hope I helped, good luck!   Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer, Cogdell Law Firm (713) 426-2244 cordt@cogdell-law.com

Should I be hiring a attorney if I was arrested for a DUI?

Yes, a lawyer can be a great help in getting your charges reduced or dismissed. You really should at least consult with one to discuss your options. Best of luck!

Will I be charged with a DUI after the fact?

The results of the portable breath test are not admissible in court so they have no evidence with that. I'm really surprised that you were not arrested, but it is unlikely you will be arrested now since they let you go.
