CALIFORNIA FOURTH DUI:
A FOURTH DUI IS FELONY DUI WITH SERIOUS JAIL TIME

In California if you have been convicted of three DUIs before in the last ten years then your prior DUIs will be used against you and your new DUI will be considered your fourth DUI. Under California law a third or fourth DUI in 10 years makes you a "repeat offender" and "habitual offender." A fourth DUI charge is a felony charge and so a fourth DUI conviction will also result in a felony conviction on your criminal record.

The state of California imposes increasingly more severe penalties for second, third, and fourth DUI in hopes that it will deter you from drinking, or using drugs, and then driving.

States share information and a DUI conviction in another state in the last 10 years will count as a prior DUI in California.

While it's possible that your prior DUIs in California or in another state, may go unnoticed and you are charged with a first, second, or third DUI, don't count on it! Regardless, you need a lawyer to help you with this. Our attorneys are experts in trying to negotiate a deal for you to avoid the "repeat offender" and "enhanced penalties" that come with a fourth DUI conviction.
