Criminal Law

Potential Consequences For The Multiple Offender And Aggravating Circumstances

The consequences discussed in the page entitled "First Time Offenders" are the standard minimum consequences. There are several situations that can increase those penalties:

• An accident;
• A blood alcohol concentration of .15% (and/or .20%) or greater;
• A refusal to take a blood or breath test; and
• A prior DUI or alcohol-related reckless driving conviction.

If any of these circumstances exist, the penalties for the standard minimum first offense go up, and can include jail time, community service, additional fines, or a host of other undesirable consequences. A criminal lawyer with experience handling DUI matters can make a major difference in the outcome of most cases.

At Raskin & Tee, the firm is highly skilled and experienced in handling matters that involve the first time offender as well as the more complex DUI matters which include the multiple offender, the above listed aggravating factors, and Felony DUIs involving Death and Great Bodily Injury.
