What are the Penalties for a Multiple Offense DUI in California?

The stakes are high in multiple offense DUI cases, and the penalties for conviction can be catastrophic. In California, repeat offenders may be sentenced to:

  • Mandatory jail time
  • Massive fines
  • Long-term probation
  • Face severe limitations on career prospects

Minimize your risks of these outcomes by having highly skilled and extremely experienced DUI attorneys in Pasadena on your side.

Strategies to Defend Your Reputation and Best Interests

As experienced DUI defense lawyers, we know that a trial brings added risk for many of our clients. If you are sincere about finding a sobriety program, we are often able to work with the District Attorney to find an alternative probation sentence and diversion program that can help avoid a conviction upon successful completion. In all cases, we work hard to knock the charge down to an alcohol-related reckless driving or other 'wet' charge that doesn't carry the weight of a full DUI conviction. This is especially important in multiple offenses or repeat DUI cases.

If you have been arrested, call us for a comprehensive DUI defense from experienced lawyers immediately. We can help you from the moment a law enforcement officer stops you to the resolution of your case. For many of our clients, the possible loss of their driver's license or CDL is the most serious consequence of a DUI conviction. For others, they may be facing years in prison. We handle all DUI matters as two cases — the driver's license suspension hearing and the criminal trial. We fight aggressively to help you maintain your driving privileges while your case progresses through the criminal justice system.

  • "The referral to hire Mark was the best thing that could of happened to me."
    I got a DUI a while back and I wanted to make sure it was handled properly. I was referred to a few people, but two different people (one of them being a deputy sheriff) said Mark Khalaf was the best dui attorney. They said he specializes in DUIs and he's considered the best in Los Angeles. So I met with him. Let me just say, I could immediately tell the difference between him and the other two attorneys I met with. He knew everything.

    I hired him and he handled my case. He made a bunch of appearances and handled my case for nearly a year...and he never asked for more money. Finally, he got my case reduced and got me a "wet reckless".

    The referral to hire Mark was the best thing that could of happened to me. I'm so happy I hired him.
