Understanding Multiple DUI Charges
In Long Beach, multiple DUI offenses carry severe penalties, which increase with each subsequent conviction. California's stringent DUI laws penalize repeat offenders with harsher fines, longer license suspensions, and mandatory jail time. Local courts also consider various factors like blood alcohol content (BAC) levels and previous convictions.
Local procedures in Long Beach also dictate specific timelines and steps to follow when charged with a multiple DUI offense. The administrative process involves navigating the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for license-related issues, while parallel courtroom procedures can affect your criminal record. This can involve negotiating with prosecutors, organizing essential documentation, or leveraging alternative sentencing options that could lessen the impact of fees, suspensions, or incarceration periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the penalties for a multiple DUI conviction in California?
Multiple DUI offenses can lead to increasingly severe penalties. These include substantial fines, prolonged license suspensions, compulsory DUI education programs, and potential jail time. The exact penalties depend on factors such as BAC levels, the time elapsed between offenses, and whether any aggravating factors are present, such as accident involvement.
How does California's look-back period affect my case?
California employs a 10-year look-back period for DUI offenses, meaning each DUI recorded within a decade of the last impacts the severity of penalties. This statute is critical for multiple offense cases. For example, a third DUI within this period is treated significantly more harshly than a first offense outside of it. Understanding how this plays into your charges is vital, and our legal team can help clarify this aspect while building your defense.
Can I avoid jail time with multiple DUI offenses?
While avoiding jail time entirely can be challenging in multiple DUI cases due to statutory requirements, alternatives might be possible. Options such as house arrest, rehabilitation programs, or work furloughs exist but depend on specific case conditions and judicial discretion.
What are my options if my license is suspended after a DUI?
License suspension is a typical consequence in DUI cases. However, individuals might qualify for a restricted license, which allows them to perform essential activities such as commuting to work or attending treatment programs. Application requirements include DUI program enrollment and insurance proof through an SR-22 form. Legal guidance from a multiple DUI attorney in Long Beach can streamline this process, alleviating the stress associated with license suspensions.

"They will fight strategically to help you win your case."
These are the best lawyers in LA/OC when it comes to DUI cases. They will fight strategically to help you win your case. My Attoney Chris Taylor was impeccable in many aspects; one he interrogated the officer causing him to fumble with his initial statement; two he is well respected within the courtroom; three he keeps you well informed with everything he is doing and what you may need to do. I can't be more pleased with the outcome of his performance. Thank you God for Taylor and Taylor!

"Jeanne Normandeau is a great lawyer. She knows how the Riverside court judges work."
Jeanne Normandeau is a great lawyer. She knows how the Riverside court judges work. She will fight for you and will get you the best results after fighting with the judge and DA. She is honest and smart. Never had any problems, answers all questions and is always easy to contact. If you have the money, I recommend Jeanne. The public defender and judge will offer you the worst deal you can get.

"I have practiced for a long time, and can tell you that when these guys walk into court the clients will fair 1000% better!"
This is a top level law firm. The Bible of DUI's comes from this firm! These are the guys other attorneys call when they are stuck on a legal issue or need some guidance. There is no other firm or DUI attorney that has the kind of experience these folks do. I have practiced for a long time, and can tell you that when these guys walk into court the clients will fair 1000% better! Most attorneys do not have trial experience, and if your case must go that direction it's scary to see non experienced dui attorneys walking in with no experience. NOT these guys. Chris Taylor is one of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen; and a force to be reckoned with. The folks I have recommended have had nothing short of positive experiences. A DUI is nothing short of stressful, and can have such an impact on a persons life between restricted or no driving privileges, classes, the cost, and the general stress of it all. This law firm handles all of these issues with such ease, and most important you know you are the most well represented client in any court or DMV hearing

"Thankfully Mr. Taylor was able to help fight my case without me ever having to go to court"
You should never drink and drive anywhere, but especially don't do it in la Jolla! Cops down here have nothing better to do then make your life miserable. It is also a college town which adds assault to injury. I should take my own advice because I was recently arrested for a DUI down in La Jolla. A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Taylor's office and I am extremely glad I got into contact with them. I hardly blew over the legal limit and did perfectly fine on the sobriety tests but still was arrested. Thankfully Mr. Taylor was able to help fight my case without me ever having to go to court and I was able to have the charges dropped. Extremely professional law firm with the experience to get you the results you want.

"Chris not only got me down to a Wet Reckless but was able to significantly reduce the penalties I would face."
Im am so glad that I read the reviews of Taylor and Taylor after my first "incident" and immediately contacted them. Chris was great at calming my nerves as this was my 1st offense and at a .06 it was right on the line on a trial or pleading it out. Chris not only got me down to a Wet Reckless but was able to significantly reduce the penalties I would face. His whole office staff was also very helpful and he returned my calls when I had questions if not the same day, the next. I plan on having my record expunged and will be going back to him for that. He attended all DMV and court hearings on my behalf which took A LOT of stress off me. I strongly recommend him.

"I have come across many attorneys in my life and I have never been treated as well as I have her"
I have come across many attorneys in my life and I have never been treated as well as I have here. Every phone call was returned in a timely and courteous manner. The first consultation was very professional, and my attorney Chris patiently answered every question I had. In situations like this, responsiveness is key and this firm never left me feeling uninformed. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would definitely recommend this firm to anyone in need of a DUI defense attorney.

"I would recommend this firm with no qualms!"
I received counsel in a sensitive legal matter from Lawrence Taylor Sr., and his advice was spot on. I did some research and I also know that the senior Mr. Taylor is in the top echelon in his field. He has written text books on DUI and he has taught the topic in law school. I would recommend this firm with no qualms!
