For individuals facing multiple DUI charges, the first thing your attorney must do is make a thorough examination of previous convictions for their constitutional validity. A successful motion to strike such a prior conviction could immediately reduce the impact of a new offense.
After having explored all options regarding a prior drunk driving charge, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Timothy B. Rien will turn their attention to building an effective defense against the current charge. Such an analysis includes:
- Validity, lawfulness of the arrest
- Accuracy of chemical testing (blood, breath or urine)
- Accuracy of a Preliminary Alcohol Screen (PAS) breath test
- Search and seizure issues
- Quality and validity of testing equipment
As with all drunk driving arrests, people facing a 2nd or 3rd offense face criminal, as well as administrative penalties. The firm will protect your rights at all DMV hearings in every effort to prevent the loss of your driving privilege.
If you have three or more prior DUI convictions within the last 10 years, your next offense could be charged as a felony by the state of California. In the case of a felony DUI, you face imprisonment for up to three years in the state prison. You must do everything possible to minimize such a threat.
