Orange County DUI Attorneys

Multiple DUI Defense Lawyers in Orange County, California

The experienced Orange County DUI lawyers and attorneys at Orange County DUI Law Group are qualified to handle multiple offense cases for our clients who have been arrested for a second, third or subsequent DUI.

Multiple offenses, whether for DUI (driving under the influence), commercial vehicle DUI or under 21 DUI, will carry enhanced penalties for the driver. In California, multiple offense DUI penalties are harsh. For instance, in California, DUI convictions within ten years of one another will result in enhanced penalties, whereas the time limit is much lower in other states, such as 5 years for a 2nd DUI offense in Florida.

In these instances, our Orange County DUI attorneys may work to disprove or discredit a previous DUI offense or may provide aggressive DUI defense for the new DUI charge. Either way, our Orange County DUI attorneys will be fighting to help our client avoid the excessive penalties they would otherwise face.
