Consequences of Multiple DUI Convictions

Each state has its own laws regarding DUIs, including how many prior convictions can be used to enhance the penalties for a subsequent offense. In Tennessee, for example, a second DUI conviction within 10 years of the first conviction is a Class A misdemeanor. A third or subsequent DUI conviction within 10 years is a Class E felony.

Penalties for a second DUI conviction in Tennessee include:

• 45 days to 11 months and 29 days in jail
• License revocation for 2 years
• Ignition interlock device for 6 months
• Minimum $600 fine
• Alcohol and drug treatment program

Penalties for a third DUI conviction in Tennessee include:

• 120 days to 11 months and 29 days in jail
• License revocation for 6 years
• Ignition interlock device for 6 months
• Minimum $1,100 fine
• Alcohol and drug treatment program

These are just the criminal penalties for a multiple DUI conviction. You will also face higher insurance rates, difficulty finding employment, and other consequences. Our attorneys can help you fight the charges and work to minimize the potential consequences.

Defending Against Multiple DUI Charges

Just because you have been arrested for a multiple DUI does not mean you will be convicted. The prosecution has the burden of proving you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Our attorneys will carefully review the evidence against you and develop a strong defense strategy. We will look for any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and use them to your advantage.

Some possible defenses in a multiple DUI case include:

• Illegal traffic stop
• Improperly administered field sobriety tests
• Failure to read Miranda rights
• Improperly calibrated breathalyzer
• Violation of your constitutional rights

Our Tipton County multiple DUI attorneys will also look for any evidence that can be used to challenge the prosecution’s case. This may include video footage from the traffic stop, maintenance records for the breathalyzer, and more. We will aggressively fight the charges and work to get them dismissed or reduced.
