DUI Penalties in Long Beach, California

DUI penalties in California are serious and can affect the rest of your life. Ranging from community service to years in state prison, these penalties will depend upon the seriousness of the DUI-related charge that you face. A first DUI conviction, for instance, may result in community service and alcohol counseling, but a fourth DUI may be charged as a felony and result in a state prison sentence of up to 3 years. When convicted of a more serious crime such as DUI with injury or DUI manslaughter, you may face an even longer state prison sentence.

Driving under the influence charges require the attention of a skilled and dedicated criminal defense attorney or lawyer. At Gold & Witham, our Long Beach DUI lawyers are committed to helping clients avoid the many penalties which come with a driving under the influence conviction. These penalties may include:

  • Fines
  • Driver's License Suspension
  • County Jail / State Prison Sentence
  • Community Service
  • Alcohol Counseling
  • DUI School
  • Probation
  • Increased Insurance Costs

Minimizing Penalties in a Long Beach DUI Case

There are a variety of ways that an attorney may work to help a client avoid the penalties associated with a Long Beach DUI case. First and foremost, the attorney may work to have charges dropped altogether or to obtain a "not guilty" verdict in court.

Other methods a Long Beach DUI lawyer may use include negotiations with the prosecuting attorney to have the charges the client faces lessened (where the penalties will also be decreased), to work out a plea bargain, or to work with the court in securing treatment-geared sentencing (such as counseling or alcohol rehabilitation) in lieu of jail time.

At Gold & Witham, our Long Beach defense attorneys will review the particular DUI case and charges to determine what we can do to avoid criminal penalties and DMV penalties. By keeping our client's particular case and unique goals in mind, we can then work to create a defense strategy that minimizes penalties.
