Second DUI charge in 5 years with a BAC of .14 in Orange County, CA.?
|
A friend of mine just had this happen on the Newport Beach peninsula. Never intelligent thing to drink and drive - I do not advocate - I'm only seeking advice from others whom had to deal with this experience. I'm concerned with the court proceedings - family is out of work and has no finances to get a lawyer. Thank You in advance.

Sorry man but he is SOL, been there done that but I had the cash to fight the charge and had it reduced.
The problem is that he blew and thats all that matters, never ever blow or do a field sobriety test. Take on a public defender for free accept the plee deal. Ask for community service and probation time instead of fines or even ask if he can serve a week in county and that will keep him from having to do probation, CSR and possibly the fines, seeing that he is not working.
Problem with Cali is they are hardasses on DUIs and hes looking at more than 10K in court costs and other fees just to keep his license.
In texas where I am we have to pay 2K each year for 3 years in order to keep our license after a second offense. I think cali is much higher.
He will prolly be looking at an ignition interlock as well which will run about $75 - $100 per month.
Tell him to get to AA immediatly even if he does not plan to stick with it. Have the person at AA sign a card that proves that he was there, tell him to get a sponser, and do 90 meetings in 90 days. Get all the court classes completed before his next court date. If the DA sees that he is trying to better himself then there is a small possiblity that he will go slightly easier on him, but if your boy sits and does nothing then the DA will pound him as hard as he can.
Good luck |
