DUI With Multiple Priors – Dod Law Aggressively Defends SoCal DUIs

DUI With Multiple Priors

Facing a DUI charge with multiple prior convictions is one of the most serious driving-related offenses under California law. Prosecutors and judges take repeat DUI cases extremely seriously, and the penalties can be life-changing. At Dod Law, we know that even good people can make mistakes.  We believe everyone deserves a strong and fair defense.  Learn more about how Dod Law can strongly defend a DUI with multiple priors.

Our firm provides aggressive DUI defense in San Diego and throughout Southern California.   We represent clients charged with second, third, or fourth DUI offenses. With years of experience, sharp legal strategies, and a deep understanding of California DUI laws, Dod Law fights to protect your rights, freedom, and future.

Understanding a DUI With Multiple Priors

In California, any DUI conviction within the past 10 years counts as a “prior.” A second, third, or fourth DUI conviction leads to progressively harsher penalties.  This can include mandatory jail or prison time, longer license suspensions, and stricter court requirements.

Depending on the number of priors, potential penalties include:

• Second DUI: Up to one year in jail, fines up to $2,000, and an 18-month DUI program.
• Third DUI: Mandatory 120 days to one year in jail, up to a 3-year license suspension, and designation as a “habitual traffic offender.”
• Fourth or more DUIs: Often charged as a felony, carrying potential state prison time and permanent revocation of driving privileges.

The stakes are high—and without a skilled and aggressive defense, you could face consequences that affect your job, reputation, and family for years to come.

How Dod Law Can Help

At Dod Law, our mission is to deliver strong, strategic, and results-driven defense for every client. Attorney Dod has extensive experience handling complex DUI cases, including those involving multiple prior convictions, high BAC levels, accidents, or probation violations.

Our defense team carefully reviews every aspect of your case to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence and opportunities to reduce or dismiss charges. We will:

1. Examine the legality of the stop and arrest – If law enforcement lacked probable cause or violated your constitutional rights, the case may be challenged or dismissed.
2. Challenge the accuracy of chemical testing – We investigate whether breath, blood, or urine tests were properly administered and whether results were reliable.
3. Scrutinize prior convictions – Sometimes, prior DUIs are invalid due to procedural errors or lack of legal counsel. We fight to have those priors excluded when possible.
4. Negotiate skillfully with prosecutors – We pursue plea reductions or alternative sentencing options, such as treatment programs or home confinement, when appropriate.
5. Represent you aggressively in court – If necessary, we take your case to trial and present a compelling defense before a judge or jury.

Every case is different, but our approach remains the same: relentless, intelligent, and aggressive DUI defense.

Defending Your License and Your Future

In addition to the criminal case, multiple DUI charges can result in a DMV license suspension or revocation. Our firm represents clients in both the criminal court and DMV administrative hearings, fighting to keep you on the road whenever possible.
