Dedicated Representation for Multiple DUI Offenders
Charges for multiple DUI offenses are very serious and have potentially damaging consequences:
- A second offense results in a potential 60-90 day jail sentence, a large fine, a suspended license for two years, and an 18 month rehabilitation program
- A third offense results in a mandatory 120 jail sentence, a large fine, a suspended license for three years, and an 18 month rehabilitation program.
- A fourth offense is a felony. Penalties include a mandatory 180 day jail sentence/possible prison time, a large fine, a revoked license for four years, and an alcohol rehabilitation program.
When our clients face these serious criminal penalties, we provide serious legal advocacy. We will challenge breathalyzer results and any sobriety tests administered. We will negotiate with prosecutors in an attempt to reach suitable outcomes for our clients — including alternatives to jail, such as electronic confinement and court-approved rehabilitation programs. In addition, we are proactive, and will assist our clients in completing their court-mandated requirements.
