San Antonio DWI Defense Attorney

1st Offense ∙ 2nd Offense ∙ 3rd Offense

People who are convicted for drunk driving face serious consequences. In addition to fines and jail time, individuals convicted of DWI may be subjected to driver's license suspension, alcohol evaluation or treatment, the installation of vehicle interlock devices, and other consequences. To avoid or minimize such dramatic effects, it is important to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side.

At the Law Office of Kerrisa Chelkowski, I am concerned about my clients' rights and their future. I listen to the facts of your case, give an honest assessment of what to expect, and develop the strongest defense strategy based upon the facts. I am committed to providing clients with aggressive DWI/DUI defense representation.

Drunk driving penalties can be harsh — even for first time DWI offenders. However, with each offense of drunk driving, the resulting penalties become even more severe.

1st offense DWI: Jail time (72 hours - 180 days); fines (up to $2000, with additional surcharges of $1000 each year for three years, and $2000 each year for three years if your BAC is double the legal limit); license suspension (90 days - 1 year)
2nd offense DWI: Jail time (72 hours - 180 days); fines (up to $4000, with additional surcharges of $1500 each year for three years, and $2000 each year for three years if your BAC is double the legal limit); license suspension (30 days - 2 years)
3rd offense DWI (Felony DWI): Jail time (2 - 10 years); fines (up to $10,000); license suspension (180 days - 2 years)

There are additional penalties if a minor was in the car, or if you are underage. Additionally, if you have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), your license can be suspended if you are convicted of DWI.

I provide knowledgeable, aggressive defense representation to each client — whether they are facing misdemeanor charges for their first DWI offense or are facing felony charges for their third offense or greater of drunk driving.

I also defend clients facing felony DWI/DUI charges for intoxication assault (causing serious bodily injury to another as a result of a drunk driving accident) or intoxication manslaughter (causing the death of another as a result of a drunk driving accident).
