Orange County Multiple DUI Attorneys
DUI Defense Lawyers in Newport Beach, California
Facing Orange County DUI
(driving under the influence) charges when one already has prior DUI convictions
will result in enhanced penalties,
including extensive driver's license suspension. In fact, a fourth DUI conviction
may be charged as a felony, including a state prison sentence of up to 3 years or
possibly more!
At no time is a driving under the influence lawyer or attorney more valuable than
when one is facing serious DUI charges. This includes felony DUI charges, as well
as multiple DUI charges. In these cases, not only does a previous DUI conviction
show a propensity of guilt to the prosecutors and other individuals involved in
the process, but it means you will face harsher penalties from the onset.
A skilled and aggressive Orange County DUI lawyer
may be able to defend your case, even if you have been convicted of driving under
the influence in the past.
Multiple DUI Convictions in Orange County
A first Orange County DUI conviction may result in up to 6 months in county jail,
as well as license suspension for up to 6 months. The more convictions, the higher
the penalties. For example, a fourth Orange County DUI conviction may result
in up to 3 years in state prison and license suspension for 4 years (or even a permanent
license revocation).
Additionally, a person with more than one DUI conviction will likely be
required to instal an Ignition Interlock Device in his/her vehicle. This device
acts as a breathalyzer machine, where the driver must blow into the device to
prove that he/she is not intoxicated. The vehicle will not start unless a valid
and passed breath sample is given.
