Fort Myers Multiple DUI Lawyer

Multiple DUI Attorney in Fort Myers

Having one or more previous DUI convictions on your record will mean that you will face increased penalties for a new DUI (driving under the influence) arrests. It will also often mean that law enforcement, the judge and your DMV hearing officer will be more likely to believe you are guilty – as you have already been convicted of drinking and driving.

A Fort Myers DUI lawyer at Musca Law can help you if you have been arrested for drunk driving and you have been previously convicted of this offense. When we take on a new case, we use a team approach to draw upon each of our lawyers’ particular strengths, enabling us to create a strategy that will be most effective.

Penalties for Multiple DUI Offenses in Fort Myers, Florida: DUI Convictions

While specific sentences will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, generally speaking the penalties for a DUI conviction will vary depending upon whether this is your first, second, third or subsequent offense. The timeline of your previous DUI conviction or convictions will also influence the penalties you face. For example, a DUI conviction from 10 or more years ago will not result in as much of an enhancement, as opposed to a DUI conviction from only 4 or 5 years ago.

Fines, community service, probation, imprisonment and license suspension will all be affected by the number of DUI convictions that an individual has on his or her record.
