4th DUI California Penalties

A 4th DUI is a violation of CVC 23152. Offenders are subject to a DUI sentence that is enhanced so penalties are greater than a first time offender. Enhanced sentencing is determined by verification that the defendant was driving under the influence for the fourth time within ten years.

Fourth offense enhancement can also be triggered by out-of-state DUI and/or wet reckless driving.

In order to prosecute for California Vehicle Code 23152, the state must be able to establish that:

  • The defendant was driving while intoxicated
  • The defendant’s BAC met or exceeded 0.08%
  • The defendant did so for the fourth time in 10 years

Unlike a first second or third DUI offense, a fourth DUI is a felony offense and can result in:

  • 6 months to 1 year in jail or three year penitentiary sentence
  • Fines of up to $1,000
  • Probation of up to 5 years
  • License suspension of up to 4 years

For fourth offenses of DUI in California, the DMV may possibly assign the title of Habitual Traffic Offender to the guilty party. The court may also order the installation of an ignition interlock device on the offender’s vehicle, depending on the circumstances. Those who are convicted of crimes may be eligible for an expungement under certain circumstances. An expungement may allow you to obtain employment easier and more.

You will also experience additional issues as your car insurance rates will increase, you may have to be on probation for a period of time which may also cause you to have to report the arrest to your employer. Your arrest may be published in the newspaper causing strife and embarrassment on your personal and professional life.

You may be required to attend rehabilitation with regards to your employer as well as what the courts have stated and you may be subjected to urine analysis and drug tests as a part of probation.

There are also the personal life issues that are exacerbated with your family possibly causing distrust in your behavior or ability to make sound judgments. There are also many times that as part of the alcohol awareness classes, you may have to attend 12-step meetings on a regular basis. This can be difficult on your personal time and a stress to your schedule.

    "They are such a great team to work with."
    I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

    "Caring and Genuine Attorney"
    I called the office and right off the bat, I was super impressed at how much help I was receiving without even meeting in person. Chris (the guy who answered my call) is extremely nice and he explains everything so well. He told me how he used to work at the courts for many years (that gave me relief that he knew what he was talking about). Randy (the attorney) is delightful as well and put my worries to rest with his expertise and knowledge. You can tell by his demeanor and how passionate he speaks, that he is genuine and he cares about his clients. This office handles everything from DUI cases to just about anything criminal related.
