What to Know About a 2nd DUI Charge

Daniel Vaswani, the lead attorney at Virtuoso Criminal and DUI Lawyers, discusses the legal implications of being arrested for a second time DUI within a decade of your first DUI arrest. The penalties for a second time DUI are more severe than those for a first DUI, including fines, fees, and probation for up to five years. If convicted, a mandatory minimum of 10 days in county jail may be imposed, although alternative sentencing programs are often available. Additionally, the DUI school for a second time DUI is longer, and if a DUI-related collision results in a fatality, you could face murder charges. Your driver's license may also be subject to DMV action and restrictions may be imposed to re-obtain your license if it is suspended. It is crucial to seek legal assistance in the event of a second time DUI, as the consequences can be severe. 0:00 - Introduction 0:08 - Definition of a second time DUI 0:23 - Graduated penalties for DUIs 0:38 - Penalties for a standard second time DUI 1:14 - Mandatory minimum 10 days County Jail for second time DUI 1:30 - Alternative sentencing program for second time DUI 1:55 - Longer DUI school for second time DUI 2:21 - Murder charge for a second time DUI resulting in the death of someone else 2:40 - Point penalties with the DMV for second time DUI 2:53 - Orders while on probation for second time DUI 3:13 - Court-ordered abstaining from alcohol and bars for second time DUI 3:26 - DMV's independent right to take action against driver's license for DUI Virtuoso Criminal and DUI Lawyers focus on defending DUI, Domestic Violence, Drug, Assault, Weapons, and all other criminal charges in both state and federal court.
