Repeat DUI Offenses

California counts prior DUI convictions within 10 years. A second DUI can bring mandatory jail time, an 18-month DUI program, and a longer license suspension. A third DUI can bring up to a year in jail and a 30-month program. A fourth DUI within 10 years can be charged as a felony. If you have a prior, the stakes are much higher. I review the validity of each prior conviction and fight to reduce your exposure.

Immigration and DUI

A simple DUI is not usually a deportable offense on its own. However, DUI cases involving drugs, injuries, or multiple priors can create immigration problems. Any arrest can also complicate visa renewals and naturalization. I consider immigration consequences in every case and work toward outcomes that protect your status.
