Enhanced Penalties

If you are convicted of a second DUI offense within 10 years of the first violation, you are facing a jail sentence of between 90 days and 1 year and fines between $390 and $1000. Your driver's license will be suspended for a minimum of two years. The court may order that an ignition interlock device be installed on your car. This device tests the driver's breath for alcohol content and prevents the car from starting if any alcohol is detected. The installation of an ignition interlock device will reduce license suspension time by half.

If you are convicted of a second DUI offense, you may be eligible to receive a restricted work license, but only after you complete one year of court-ordered classes for multiple offenders.

You may be punished under California’s Three Strikes Law if your driving contributed to another person's serious injury or death. These offenses can be charged as felony DUIs.

A fourth DUI in 10 years can also be charged as a felony DUI.

Conviction on a second or subsequent DUI charge can have grave effects on your life, your ability to earn a living, and your freedom. Don't delay. For knowledgeable representation in all DUI charges, contact the Blumenthal Law Offices today.
