El Cajon DUI Defense Attorney
Multiple DUI Convictions
When someone has prior DUI convictions on their record and is charged with a subsequent DUI, they are considered to be a multiple DUI offender in California. Multiple DUI offenses result in harsher penalties for the offender. These DUI penalties can include: imprisonment, monetary fines, community service, DUI classes, probation, and license suspension. In most cases of multiple offenses, the maximum penalty is sought after by the prosecutor and enforced by the judge.
Since the penalties that result from multiple DUIs become more and more severe with every new DUI charge, it’s important for a multiple offender to get an experienced and knowledgeable El Cajon DUI defense attorney to negotiate the best result possible.
