Are you a multiple DUI offender?

By Gold & Witham  Feb. 4, 2011 10:22p

One of the worst positions to find yourself in is when you have been arrested for DUI, and have already had previous DUI convictions. Multiple DUI offenders face extremely harsh DUI penalties due to their status as a repeat offender. Multiple DUI convictions can often make it very difficult for an attorney to defend the case as the judge will see previous convictions and may automatically believe that you are guilty of the newly alleged crime. By acting quickly however, a skilled attorney may be able to prove that you are not guilty of the crime, or that a past DUI was not warranted and should not have resulted in a conviction. If you have been arrested for DUI and have past convictions, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney will be able to assist you and offer you legal guidance for your case.

The biggest difficulty in multiple DUI cases is the existence of prior DUI convictions. This can make it hard to convince the judge that you are not guilty of a current crime, which to the judge may just seem like a repeat incident. In addition to standard DUI defense tactics such as challenging breath tests, the legality of an arrest or police stop, and whether any of your rights have been violated, an attorney may also attempt to prove that a past DUI was not warranted, or that the past convictions should not be considered for the current case.
