What punishments will my friend face for a DUI?

Justin C. Olsinski
Answered by attorney Justin C. Olsinski
Criminal Law lawyer at Olsinski Injury, Family and Criminal Lawyers
First, you should never just plead guilty to a DWI without proper legal counsel. In many circumstances there are issues to fight, regardless of the intoxication level. On a first offense the punishment is laid out in 20-179 of the statute with all the maximums. Realistically, depending on your county, most people do not end up serving any active time for their first offense if there were no grossly aggravating factors. With fines and court costs I would prepare for around $500 and some community service. As for AA, your friend would have to take an alcohol assessment which his lawyer would direct him to do and the results of the test will dictate how many hours of class he has to take. I strongly advise you to consult an attorney in your area, DWI's are serious and there are many advantages to hiring an attorney to represent you on one.

What happens to bail money paid to a bondsman if charges aren't filed against me?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
When you are arrested for a crime, the court sets bail in a specified amount. You can put that amount up with the court yourself, using money or real property. Or, you can use a bondsman. A bondsman will charge a percentage, usually between 10 and 20% of the bond amount, as a premium. This is his fee for making the bond. If the bond is a large amount, the bondsman also may require collateral, such as a the title to a car or home. When the case is over, the Court orders the bond discharged. If the District Attorney decides not to file charges against you, he or she will advise the court of this on your first or second court appearance, and the bond will be discharged at that time. If you paid the bond directly to the Court, you will get all of your money and/or property back. If you used a bondsman, the bondsman will keep his fee -- the 10 to 20% you gave him as the premium. Any collateral you gave him will be returned. Even if charges ultimately are not filed, the bondsman has earned his premium by bonding you out of jail.
