The short answer.
It can happen. Oklahoma law requires jail for some DUI convictions, and overlooking evidence or available programs can limit your options. How your case is handled matters. We investigate the charge and look for lawful ways to avoid or reduce time in custody.
Challenge the evidence
We examine the stop, testing and police recordings for grounds to challenge the charge.
Look for a better resolution
A supported reduction or an eligible court program may change the jail exposure.
Plan around your life
We discuss your work, family and any required confinement before you decide on a plea.
Know your options before accepting a plea.
Even a first offense DUI can involve mandatory jail time. A current-law aggravated DUI plea requires at least 10 days; some cases allow night or weekend service. A successful defense or eligible program may change the outcome.
The charge, incident date, prior record and county determine which options we can pursue. The reason your case is filed as an aggravated offense rather than a regular offense can also have an impact. We review each before advising you on possible resolutions.

Common questions.
Get answers, then talk through the facts of your case with an attorney.
Can I avoid jail if this is my first DUI?
Possibly, depending on the charge and available resolution. A first offense alone does not remove mandatory jail requirements. We review the evidence and program eligibility before discussing your options.
Do I need the police report before calling?
No. You can start with the paperwork you have. Tell us where the arrest happened and your next court date.
