Second DUI Within 10 Years
If you have been charged with a second DUI within ten years of your first DUI conviction in the Boise area, then you will face exponentially harsher punishments. With each subsequent DUI, you will be faced with staggeringly more severe consequences. For a 2nd DUI conviction, you will face punishments such as a minimum fine of $500, along with up to nine months imprisonment, and thirty-day impoundment of your vehicle. If you are charged with a third DUI within ten years, you will be faced with a third-degree felony and will be at risk of fines up to $5,000 and five years’ imprisonment, along with 90-day vehicle immobilization.
3rd Offense DUI
If you are charged with a third DUI offense within ten years, you will be faced with a third-degree felony and will be at risk of fines up to $5,000 and five years imprisonment, along with 90-day vehicle immobilization.
These consequences can be devastating and should not be treated lightly; if you are at risk of a second, third, or even fourth DUI conviction, it is imperative that you secure the legal aid of an experienced Boise DUI lawyer. By working closely with an attorney confident in this area of the law, you can begin to build your defense from the foundation up. Whether looking into faulty BAC tests, or whether you are questioning whether or not there was even reasonable cause for the traffic stop, your attorney will help you fight to protect you.
