What is my husband facing as far as jail time for his last DUI?

Anyone facing DUI charges should retain an attorney. The penalties for DUI are getting stricter by the day, and the ramifications for a DUI conviction are far reaching, not just the criminal consequences. Having a DUI could very well affect your ability to obtain insurance, or even a job. If your husband was facing a judge in Georgia, they would certainly look at DUI convictions anywhere in the US when sentencing, and many judges in Georgia might consider giving your husband the maximum time allowed by law, which would be at least one year for the DUI. If your husband's current DUI is in Virginia you should hire an attorney licensed to practice in VA. I'm not licensed to practice anywhere but Georgia and anything written above is only meant to pertain to Georgia and Georgia law.

The best way to minimize the consequences and length of sentence is to encourage your husband to take action now. Hire an attorney where he's facing charges. He might consider installing an ignition interlock on his car in order to avoid a new DUI while this one is pending. He needs to see a counselor who is willing to come to court to explain in person what your husband is doing to achieve and maintain sobriety. If the new charge is pending in Virginia, you need a VA attorney today.
