Understanding Multiple DUI Charges

Multiple DUI charges apply when an individual accumulates more than one DUI offense within a set period. These charges usually arise after a prior DUI conviction, and the legal system views them with higher severity. 

Factors that contribute to multiple DUI charges include blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels, refusal to take a chemical test, and prior DUI incidents within a specific timeframe. Each additional charge aggravates the situation, leading to more serious repercussions.

Facing multiple DUI charges leads to severe penalties compared to a first offense. Potential consequences include hefty fines, extended jail sentences, and prolonged suspension or revocation of driving privileges. Offenders might also face mandatory alcohol education programs and the installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle. 

Multiple charges can also result in a criminal record that impacts employment opportunities, professional licenses, and even housing options.

Defense Strategies We Can Use

Our team employs various defense strategies that can help mitigate multiple DUI charges. 

Here are just some of the approaches we can take in your case:

• Challenging the Evidence
  We can analyze the prosecution’s evidence for inconsistencies or procedural errors. If officers mishandled evidence or failed to adhere to protocol, they could weaken their case against you.
• Gathering Counter Evidence
  We may be able to explore witness statements or surveillance footage to bolster your defense.
• Scrutinizing Field Sobriety Tests
  Health issues, weather conditions, or improper instructions can influence test outcomes. A poorly conducted test could be inadmissible in your case.
• Questioning the Accuracy of Breathalyzer Tests
  These devices require regular maintenance and proper calibration. Flaws or misuses in testing can lead to inaccurate results. 
• Challenging the Legality of the Initial Traffic Stop
  Officers must have a valid reason for pulling you over. If they lack probable cause, we can argue that your rights were violated.
