Oakland County Cases of Multiple DUIs
Multiple DUI Defense Lawyer
An individual suspected of drunk driven can be pulled over by law enforcement
and then must submit to sobriety testing or face additional penalties.
An officer has the right to arrest a driver with a blood alcohol level
of 0.08% on DUI charges. A
DUI is a serious criminal offense that can have a negative impact on a person
and can cause a job loss or ineligibility to pursue certain professions,
and the loss of certain rights and freedoms. Punishment for drivers with
multiple DUIs can be harsh and life changing.
An individual arrested for multiple DUI offenses
needs to contact an Oakland County DUI lawyer for legal assistance and guidance as to the proper steps to take following criminal allegations.
Attorney Daniel D. Hajji defends many clients charged with multiple DUIs
inside and outside of the courtroom. It is important to have competent
legal counsel from the time of arrest throughout all phases of the court
proceedings.
Punishment for Multiple DUIs
A
first DUI offense may result in a minimal sentencing or dismissed charges. A second
and third offense require increased penalties issued by a judge that might
include jail time, probation, fines, court fees, license suspension, alcohol
related classes and counseling, ignition locking device, attendance at
MAAD meetings, and community service. A traffic collision caused by a
drunken driver with multiple offenses may become a felony charge with
increased penalties.
Drivers arrested for a DUI and have two or more DUI convictions automatically
face a felony criminal charge. The punishment may include prison time,
probation, large fines and court fees, license revocation, court mandated
counseling and DUI education programs, and other penalties that a judge
may feel is appropriate. A felony conviction can make the life of an offender
difficult when seeking employment, cause a loss of a child custody award
following a divorce, distancing of friends and family, and other consequences.
The loss of a
professional license or the inability to advance in a career can be a devastating experience.
With so much at stake, it is essential to have a multiple DUI defense from
an experience and skilled DUI defense attorney. Make an appointment today
