At The Collins Law Firm, we know how severe the consequences of multiple DUI charges can be. If you’re facing a second or third DUI, you may feel overwhelmed by the potential penalties. We’re here to explain what you’re up against and how we can help protect your future.
Penalties for multiple DUI offenses
For a first DUI offense, you may face fines, a temporary license suspension, and mandatory alcohol education. However, the penalties increase when you face multiple DUIs. A second offense can result in longer license suspensions, higher fines, and the possibility of jail time. A third DUI offense carries even harsher consequences, including extended jail time, much higher fines, and a more extended license suspension.
Additionally, the court may require you to attend alcohol treatment programs and install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. As you accumulate offenses, the penalties become more severe, including longer probation periods and a permanent criminal record, which can significantly impact employment and other life opportunities.
