Multiple DUI Defense Attorneys in DuPage County

Defending Multiple DUI Charges in Northern Illinois

As with most criminal offenses, the severity of charges and penalties associated with a second or subsequent DUI violation is greatly increased compared to a first offense. For most first offenders, the focus tends to favor rehabilitation and the prevention of future violations. For multiple, or repeat offenders, the penalties are often more punitive in nature and, as a result, have a stronger negative impact on a person’s life and future. If you are facing charges for a second, third, or fourth offense of driving under the influence, the Davi Law Group is prepared to help you protect your rights.

The increased seriousness of multiple DUI offenses begins with the failure of or refusal to submit to chemical blood alcohol content (BAC) testing. A second or subsequent failure results in a one-year statutory summary suspension of driving privileges, while a second or subsequent refusal results in a three-year suspension. During the extended suspension, driving relief is not available.

A second conviction on DUI charges is, of course, more severe than a first offense, and is punishable as a Class A misdemeanor in most cases. Penalties include a mandatory minimum imprisonment of five days or 240 hours of community service, along with a five-year revocation of driving privileges.

For a third or subsequent offense, DUI automatically becomes aggravated DUI and is prosecuted as a felony. A driver convicted of a third offense faces up to seven years in prison, fines of up to $25,000 and a ten-year driver’s license revocation. Beyond a third offense, penalties for a conviction continue to increase up to a Class X felony for a sixth offense, along with a lifetime revocation of driving privileges with no relief available.
