A Second or Third DUI in Newport Beach is a
Very Serious Offense
If getting a Newport Beach DUI is an embarrassing and frustrating situation, being arrested for a 2nd or 3rd DUI in Newport, is a life altering event.
If you were recently arrested in Newport Beach for your second or even third DUI arrest within the past 10 years, you will need to speak to an experienced Newport Beach DUI attorney immediately about the DUI consequences you are potentially facing, such as jail time and multiple years loss of your driver's license.
“Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst” Approach.
More than just merely a one year suspended license, judges in the Newport Beach branch of the Orange County Superior court routinely sentence individuals convicted of a 2nd or 3rd DUI offense to 30 to 90 days in jail.
The actual length of the jail sentence depends on the circumstances surrounding your current Newport Beach DUI and prior DUI arrest(s), as well as alcohol and/or drug related preemptive measures you will voluntarily undergo in an attempt to prove to the court you are not a habitual DUI offender who deserves a harsh jail sentence. Such preemptive measures include drug testing, SCRAM devices, House Arrest, Work Furlough, and DUI Court.

Hiring an Experienced Newport Beach DUI Attorney May Help you avoid the Multiple Year Drivers License Suspension that Accompanies a Multiple Offense Conviction
Prior to July 1, 2010, an individual convicted of a 2nd or 3rd DUI within the the State of California suffered a minimum one year suspension of his or her driver's license without the possibility of obtaining a restricted license.
However, on July 1, 2010, the California legislation passed a new law that a few select individuals who, although they were convicted of a multiple offense DUI, may be eligible for a restricted license provided their court disposition meets certain criteria.
