Legal Help on an arrest for a suspended license and then also arrested for a 2nd DUI?
Kate6988 asked:
I have a couple of questions on where to go my son’s father just got his 2nd DUI. Don’t ask me why he was driving because he had a suspended drivers license, but here is the story. He got his first DUI in January of last year, then in June he got a disorderly conduct, then in September he got a false reporting to authorities. Now he just got his 2nd DUI. He was on probation for the false reporting still for a period of 12months that he is not supposed to get in trouble. And now this. I am kind of glad that he got it because he will now maybe learn his lesson that he shouldn’t drink even though I don’t think he learned from the 1st offenses. But I was wondering what he should do and maybe how much time he will get I know he is going to have to sit sometime in jail and I told him that. But he has court on August 17th do you think he should talk to a lawyer before then? And also this is in South Dakota is it possible to use your suspended imposition for a 2nd DUI? He blew a .161, but that is still 2 times the legal limit here, I guess he passed the sobriety test that they give you, just not the breathallizer Any help would be great and I really dont’ want smart comments because obviously I know he did wrong I just want some advice on where to tell him to go sometimes he is not the brightest. I think that is all that I have but PLEASE HELP!

I would call an attorney and get the free consultation first. Jail time might be what he needs to wake up but I know that is not easy. I wish you and your family the best and I am sorry you have to clean up his mess. Lost without him**
