Is there mandatory jail time for DUI in DC?
Jason Kalafat: There is mandatory jail time for a DUI conviction in DC in certain cases. If you have a prior DUI conviction or a conviction for a related offense in another jurisdiction within the past 15 years, there will be mandatory jail time. If you have a blood alcohol content score of 0.20 or above, then there is mandatory jail for your DUI conviction. If you had kids in the car at the time that you were stopped and end up being convicted of DUI, there is mandatory jail for that as well. If you have illegal drugs in your system and that is the basis for the DUI, then that has mandatory jail as well.
David Benowitz and his firm are the best strategic and compassionate teams you will work with. Mr. Benowitz and his team are diligent and proactive, which is further enhanced by David’s methodic and strategic approach to law. My case was a very complicated and emotionally charged case involving classified information, where I was facing three indictments, two carrying life sentences and one carrying 20 years. Mr. Benowitz utilized a network of lawyers coupled with his own strategy to navigate the case to success! I sincerely recommend David Benowitz quite literally with my life.
I found David to be very dedicated to fighting for your loved one’s rights. I also highly appreciated the fact that David kept us informed and empowered throughout the whole process.
