Why Hire an Attorney for Your 3rd DUI

Depending what jurisdiction you were arrested in, a third offense DUI in California will carry with it a serious jail sentence of a minimum of 120 days to a maximum of 1 year. The Orange County District Attorney's office, for example, will request a jail sentence of 9 months to 1 year. In order for you to avoid jail, you need to have a highly experienced DUI defense attorney by your side to prep your case so that you are eligible for alternative sentencing. Without such preparation, you must be ready to face jail. Call 866-306-5396 for a free consultation with an experienced 3rd DUI attorney.

Arraignment Process for a 3rd DUI

For your third DUI, your arraignment is a crucial step for your case. First, you need to have a plan before you go to court in order to show the court you're capable of sobriety. At Aspen Law Group, each case is given a court specific plan of attack so when the time comes to go to court, both you and your case are prepared. I cannot tell you how important this is in order to get alternatives to jail. Without it, there is little hope of staying out of jail. 

Driver's License Issues

On a Third Offense DUI, you are looking at upwards of a 10 year suspension of your license. You could go years without the eligibility of a restricted license.  You have 10 days for your attorney to contact the DMV to request a hearing.  If your attorney fails to contact the DMV within 10 days of your arrest, your license will automatically suspend and you won't be automatically eligible for a restricted license. Contact a 3rd DUI lawyer at 866-306-5306 for a free consultation as to what to do about your driver's license.

With circumstances this serious, you need an attorney highly skilled in 2nd offense DUI.  Call 866-306-5306 for more information.

Alternative to Jail for a 3rd DUI in California

With the right preparation of your case, there are several alternatives to county jail. The following examples are jail alternatives in California.
  • House Arrest

    House arrest is an alternative to jail for some 3rd offense DUI cases. The District Attorney will not offer this to you automatically.  In fact, the DA's office will object to this form of alternative sentencing.  This type of alternative sentencing will need to be negotiated between your attorney and the court directly.  For more information, call 866-306-5306 for a free consultation.

  • Work Furlough

    Work furlough is a private city jail which you pay a daily fee, spend the night, and during the day you're allowed to go to work.  On especially serious DUI cases, they may be the only alternative jail available to you.

  • DUI Court

    DUI court is available for multiple offense DUI offenders who reside in California.  The program is extensive and should only be a "last resort" for alternative sentencing because you'll be expected to spend 4-5 days in court, every week, during normal business hours.  Most people can not meet the extreme commitments DUI court requires.  Call us for a free consultation at 866-306-5306.
