Orange County Multiple DUI Attorney
Do you have prior DUI convictions?
Our Orange County DUI lawyers defend those facing their second or subsequent
DUI offense. When a person has already been convicted of driving under
the influence, he or she will face more severe
penalties for a second conviction. Multiple DUI charges and convictions result in
lengthened
license suspension or license revocation, longer prison sentences and higher fines.
Another penalty is the requirement of an
ignition interlock device in the individual’s car. This device acts like a
breathalyzer in that the individual must register an approved blood alcohol concentration
in order to start the vehicle. Additionally, a person with a prior DUI
conviction may have his or her vehicle impounded, depending upon the circumstances.
Penalties for Second, Third & Fourth DUI Convictions

- License Suspension: 2 Years
- DUI School: 18 Months
- Fines & Court Fees: $1,800 - $2,800
- Imprisonment: 96 Hours to 1 Year in County Jail

- Fines & Court Fees: Maximum of $2,800

Gold & Witham: Orange County DUI Attorney
Defending multiple DUI charges can be difficult. As the individual has
prior convictions, it may be easier for law enforcement and the prosecuting
attorney to believe that the defendant is guilty again. In defending a
case involving multiple convictions, the Orange County DUI attorneys at
our firm will conduct independent investigations into previous convictions
to see if they can be contested, in addition to defending the current
charges the client faces. By approaching the case from two different angles,
we are able to secure better results in more multiple DUI cases.
