DUI Crackdown Washington DC Third Offense Mandatory Sentence

Within the current DUI crackdown environment in Washington D.C., repeat impaired driving offenses are prosecuted aggressively and routinely expose defendants to mandatory incarceration under District law. This case study examines how a third time DUI defendant, facing enhanced penalties due to prior convictions, navigated the District’s strict sentencing framework through a carefully structured defense strategy grounded in statutory analysis, factual mitigation, and documented rehabilitation efforts.
