- A fine of $200 to $500
- Jail time ranging from 48 hours to 30 days

Your Driver's License
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, your driver's license can be suspended anywhere from 30 days to 120 days. Our law firm can handle all administrative driver's license issues. If your license is suspended for more than 30 days, we can help you obtain a hardship license. The hardship license will allow you to drive to work, school and other necessary locations within a designated timeframe.
