Fourth DUI Arrests in Los Angeles
Los Angeles DUI Lawyer
In Los Angeles, most drunk driving-related offenses are charged as misdemeanors. However, even a standard driving under the influence (DUI) offense may be charged as a
felony if a driver has
three or more prior DUI convictions on his or her record. A fourth DUI offense may have extremely serious repercussions for a driver, leading to 4-year driver's license suspension, up to 3 years in state prison and heavy fines. If you are interested in challenging these charges, it is crucial to involve a competent
DUI defense lawyer who will fight tirelessly on your behalf.
The team at Gold & Witham is committed to representing drivers throughout the greater LA area who have been arrested for drunk driving and have prior convictions on their records. These cases present particular difficulties for an attorney to handle but are all the more important to address in a swift and aggressive manner. When an attorney at our offices takes on a case involving a 4th DUI, we leave no stone unturned as we thoroughly investigate all of the circumstances of the
initial police stop,
field sobriety tests,
breath or
blood testing, arrest and even prior cases and convictions. Our goal will be to find any and every opportunity to challenge evidence and weaken the prosecuting attorney's case against our client.
A 4th DUI Offense is Charged as a Felony
A felony conviction is far more serious than a misdemeanor. Of course the penalties imposed are more severe, but having a felony on your criminal record will likely have far more of an impact in terms of educational and employment opportunities. Your future may be jeopardized. That is why you need to act quickly to retain legal representation from an experienced lawyer.
Schedule a confidential review of your case with a legal professional who will provide you with uncompromising legal representation in court and at your
DMV hearing while taking care to keep you well-informed every step of the way.
