Other DUI arrest enhancements

Many circumstances may lead to sentence
enhancements other than previous DUI convictions. The presence of a child in the
car (under the age of 14), speeding (20 miles over the limit also carries a 60
day jail sentence), reckless driving, an elevated BAC level (over .15%), and
causing an accident with any injuries. Causing an accident is a Felony and can
be much more serious.

Any time you face charges of DUI that resulted in a death, injuries or sizeable
property damage the consequences for California multiple convictions can be very
sever, including thousands of dollars in fines, mandatory years of imprisonment,
restitution and a loss of license and vehicles for years, if not permanently.

We strongly recommend retaining an experienced California DUI attorney in order
to secure the best possible outcome of a potentially severe situation.
