Can I be charged with open container ?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
An open container is a Class C ticket, like speeding. A open container with a DWI means the driver would have to do 3 days in jail for that open container. So really just depends on you. Open container tickets are pretty cheap and easy to defend. Maybe all should talk and work something out.

Can you get early release from a DWI probation?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Cynthia Henley
No. The law prevents early termination of DWI probations. That said, if you have done exceptionally, the judge can permit you to be put on mail-in status.

Dwi

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
You are correct with respect to the range of punishment on a 1st DWI. However, there is a possible enhancement issue. If your breath/blood test is over a .15 they can enhance you. What that means is that you would be facing the same range of punishment someone would face for a 2nd DWI, which is up to 1 year in jail, and a $4K fine. If it's not the enhancement issue, and you have no priors, they may have your name in the TCIC/NCIC check mixed up with someone else's.  In my opinion, you shouldn't be asking about the range of punishment until you know if they can even prove their case, though. I always inform my DWI clients of the range of punishment. But, I also make sure they understand the most important thing to do is to see if their evidence is sufficient to convict you. If it's not, or if you don't know, you need to hire an attorney who can/will do that for you.
