Second Offense DUI · Aggravated DUI · Underage DUI
The Jackson law firm of Brent M. Brumley Attorney at Law represents citizens of the State of Mississippi area and Central Mississippi accused of driving under the influence. Many of our clients have complicating factors that require knowledgeable and aggressive representation:
- Repeat DUI — A second offense within five years may carry mandatory jail time, two-year license suspension, impoundment of your vehicle and other severe penalties. A third offense in five years is a felony crime with the possibility of state prison, high fines and five-year suspension.
- Zero tolerance — Drivers under age 21 can be charged for driving with any alcohol in their system. An underage DUI offense carries a 90-day license suspension, but may be eligible for nonadjudication (later dismissal) if the blood-alcohol level was less than .08.
- Truck driver — Drivers who hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) can be charged with DUI at .04 — even if they are driving their personal vehicle. A first offense is a mandatory one-year CDL suspension, and a second conviction is a lifetime CDL revocation.
- Breath test refusal — You are subject to mandatory license suspension for 90 days on a first offense and one year for a second refusal. We can fight this in a refusal hearing.
- Child endangerment — A DUI arrest with a child under the age of 16 in the car can be punished by up to one year in jail.
- Injury or fatality — A DUI accident resulting in death or disfigurement is a felony punishable by a minimum prison term of four years.
