Second DUI Offense

Consequences of a Second DUI Offense

A charge of driving under the influence is considered a second DUI offense if you have a prior DUI conviction on your record within the prior seven years.  Penalties are automatically increased for a second DUI offense.  Barring the presence of any aggravating circumstances which cause charges and penalties to be increased, the consequences for a second DUI involve:

• 30 days in jail
• 60 days of electronic home monitoring
• A minimum fine of $1121
• License revocation for a period of two years
• Installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle
• Alcohol or drug counseling if ordered by the court

If your blood alcohol content is equal to or greater than .15%, of if you refused chemical testing, you are subject to greater penalties.  Whatever your circumstances, Jonathan, a Lynnwood DUI attorney, can help you to fight your charges and attempt to avoid such consequences.

I have helped many people just like you get through the trauma of being charged with driving under the influence.  I know that all can seem hopeless and the potential consequences incredibly frightening, but I am here to fight for your rights and your freedom.  Along with a private investigator, I can review the scene and circumstances of the arrest, police reports, the government's evidence against you, the validity of any tests administered and any witness accounts can all be considered.  I will be looking for any points which show injustices and render your charges invalid, any evidence that proves your innocence or any information that casts a reasonable doubt as to your guilt.  My goal is to protect you by achieving an acquittal.
