Multiple DUI Offenses and Punishments
It is necessary to have a strong defense when charged with multiple DUI offenses due to the seriousness of the crime and the extent of the penalties. Common punishment for multiple DUIs can include:
- Second offense - 10 days to 6 months in jail, 1 year probation, $750-$1,000 fines, court fees, DUI school and counseling, vehicle ignition locking device, license suspension
- Third offense - within the past 7 years a felony with 1 year state prison, up to $5,000 fines, court fees, DUI school and counseling, vehicle ignition locking device, license revocation
Some factors that can influence the degree of penalties are minors present in the vehicle at the time of the DUI arrest, a DUI accident with great bodily harm or death, or leaving the scene of an accident. A defense lawyer can represent clients and challenge all evidence presented during DMV hearing and in the criminal courts. Sobriety tests, arresting officer statements, witness accounts, forensics, and other evidence are areas that a skilled defense attorney can attack for validity and accuracy. Our attorneys fight for the rights of our clients and protect their interests during all steps of the DUI process.
