Facing Your Second DUI in Los Angeles?
The Penalties for a Second DUI Are Serious
California legislature takes a tough stance against multiple DUI offenders. If you are convicted of a 2nd DUI within 10 years of your previous conviction, you will face enhanced penalties. Rather than a license suspension of 6 months (for a 1st DUI), your license will be suspended for 2 years.
You will also face imprisonment in county jail for up to 1 year. If you have been arrested for DUI and already have a conviction for driving under the influence on your record, it is important to protect your rights. By consulting a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney in your area, you have the opportunity to avoid a second conviction and these enhanced penalties.
