If you are caught driving under the influence and you are also under the age to be drinking in the first place, you license WILL be taken away. That’s the first thing you should know.

Even if you are above the legal drinking age, you may still find that your license is going to be suspended or even taken away for a period of time.

Besides losing your license, there are also fines that you may have to pay. If this is your first offense or first driving offense the fines are usually around $1000. This is of course the case assuming you didn’t hit anyone or cause any injuries or death while committing your DUI.

If you are caught driving under the influence a second time expect this fine to be much higher and also suspect, depending on where you live, that may be facing a possible jail sentence as well.

As well, you may have to take a driving course to educate yourself on the dangers of driving under the influence; this will depend again on where you live.

So, as you can see, it is in your best interest to hire a Los Angeles Second DUI Lawyers, or second DUI defense attorney to defend you.
