Multiple DUI charges carry heavier sentencing than a 1st DUI offense.
In order to ensure that your freedom is not restricted and your rights are protected, you need an attorney who can provide effective defense strategies to minimize penalties or fight for case dismissal.
In any DUI case, even if it’s your 2nd DUI or 3rd DUI, aggravating factors can make these sentences even more severe. For example, if you were driving with an individual under the age of sixteen, or if you registered a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of above 15%, you could be facing additional fines and longer jail sentences.
QUESTION 01
7-YEAR LOOKBACK PERIOD
In order to be sentenced for multiple DUI offenses, prior convictions must have occurred within a period of time known as the “lookback period.” In Washington, this is a period of seven years within which convictions can be considered during sentencing.
Any additional convictions outside of the seven-year lookback period cannot be considered relevant in your evaluation.
QUESTION 02
In Washington, the fifth DUI offense in seven years is charged as a felony. This means that charges of a fifth DUI are extremely serious. While misdemeanor DUIs carry sentences that are intended to warn and rehabilitate offenders and to encourage them to avoid repeat offenses, the fifth DUI offense will carry much harsher sentences that are intended to be punitive.
It is essential to have an aggressive and effective criminal defense lawyer on your side who knows how to fight for you when in court facing multiple DUI offenses. Contact us today for a free multiple DUI case evaluation.
Important note: Washington politicians have been working towards making the fourth DUI offense a felony charge.
