Defending Clients in Criminal Court and Administrative Hearings
Individuals with previous DUI convictions face much harsher penalties than first time offenders:
- Penalties for 1st offenses: Penalties for first offenses include up to six months in jail, minimum $500 in fines, loss of driver's license for up to one year, mandatory 12 hour level 1 driving course plus follow-up dependency treatment and a minimum of 50 hours of community service.
- Penalties for multiple offenses: A fourth DUI offense results in a felony charge. Convictions bring about harsh punishments, including up to five years in prison and loss of your driver's license for life.
DUI charges must be taken very seriously whether or not you have a previous criminal conviction. Our attorneys, Kevin Mawn and Brian Onek, will aggressively defend you in criminal court and help you protect your driving privileges by representing you in administrative hearings.
You only have ten days to file an appeal before your driver's license is suspended. Therefore, it is important to act quickly.
