Criminal Defense Attorney Daniel Vaswani Explains a Second DUI Charge

Hayward, CA, January 21, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Obtaining another DUI arrest within ten years of your first DUI arrest is effectively a second DUI charge. DUI's have graduated penalties, which means a first DUI charge has less penalties than a second DUI charge, making the second more serious. The penalty differences between a first and second DUI charge can be seen through the assessment of fines, time enrolled in DUI school, the mandatory minimum of County Jail, along with other consequences.

Attorney Vaswani highlights that a second DUI charge triggers not only criminal court consequences, but DMV consequences as well. The DMV has its own independent right to take action against ones driver’s license and impose restrictions to re-obtain it if it is already suspended. “At a minimum, if you are convicted, it will be two points assessed against your driving record, and in some situations it can be more.”
