Defense for Multiple DUI Charges

If you are currently facing your second, third, fourth or subsequent DUI charge, then you already understand that this is a serious matter that will require effective legal help. You have already been convicted of one DUI charge, and another on your criminal record can have detrimental consequences on your life. You may fear that this time, your employer will have "had enough" and fire you due to the outcome of the case, or you will not be able to apply to a college in the future. Despite what your worries and concerns are, the legal team at the Law Offices of Aaron T. Hicks is here to help.

The San Diego DUI defense lawyer at the firm has extensive knowledge in the area of DUI (driving under the influence) law that can be used to your advantage. A person facing their second, third or fourth DUI offense within ten years will be penalized according to the California Vehicle Code §23540, 23546 and 23560, and may be charged with felony DUI. These penalties range from fines, imprisonment, driver's license suspension and more. You will need experienced legal representation at both your DMV hearing and your criminal case if you wish to try to avoid some of the difficult consequences laid out by the law.

DUI Defense Lawyer in San Diego, CA

In cases of multiple DUI offenses, prosecutors will see the defendant as a danger to society and seek maximum penalties. Unfortunately, the arrest and charge may have been the result of a mistake in the field sobriety test or a malfunction of the breath testing machine. In cases such as this, you will need an aggressive defender on your side to prove this information. Despite the number of prior convictions, or if this is your first DUI offense, you will always want to have a DUI defense attorney on your case. Without legal representation, many defendants, even innocent defendants, don't stand a chance of seeing a conviction-free future.
