Some examples would be stress on your family life, employment, and ability to drive to name a few. 

While it is true that a DUI is technically a traffic violation, it’s a traffic violation that can land you in jail for up to 364 days for the first offense. A second offense DUI could lead to prison for an extended period. There are several more favorable alternate consequences, which is why it’s imperative to have a seasoned attorney advocating on your behalf like the attorneys at Lafata Law.
