Los Angeles Multiple DUI Defense Attorneys

Driving Under the Influence Defense Lawyers in Los Angeles

California DUI law is set up in such a way as to discourage and prevent repeat offenders. This means that the DUI penalties for a driver who has prior driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol convictions will be considerably greater than for a first time offender. Defending multiple Los Angeles DUI charges can be difficult and complex, but the Los Angeles DUI lawyers and attorneys at Gold & Witham are confident when taking on one of these cases.

When a driver has three previous DUI convictions on his or her record, a fourth DUI offense may be charged as a felony DUI. A felony offense is one which carries more severe penalties (including a minimum sentence of one year in state prison). For this reason, it is essential to work with a Los Angeles DUI attorney who is comfortable in taking on a multiple DUI offense case and who can provide the legal representation that is necessary for the driver to avoid the label of “felon”.

Why choose a DUI defense lawyer at Gold & Witham? Well, this is a decision which is entirely up to you. It is also a decision that may affect the next several years of your life, at the least. If you choose an attorney who is inexperienced or who does not have the resources to provide you with the best defense, you may be left facing a state prison sentence of several years and long-term driver’s license suspension. We welcome you to contact our firm and discuss your case in person with Los Angeles DUI attorney Nigel Witham or Los Angeles DUI attorney Jeffrey Gold. Attorneys Gold and Witham have over four decades of combined legal experience and have dedicated their practice exclusively to DUI defense. For these reasons, we have a high success rate – even in multiple DUI cases.
