Third-Time DUI in Bakersfield
We Aren’t Afraid to Step into the Ring for You

When the Penalties Are Heavy, You Need Solid Support
The lookback window for prior DUI convictions in California is 10 years, twice as long as many other states. If you are arrested within 10 years of your second conviction, you could be dealing with escalated punishments. Even if there is not much evidence against you, should you proceed without quality representation from our firm, it is likely that the presiding judge will acknowledge your two previous convictions and assume you are guilty.
A third-time DUI conviction will bring harsh penalties upon you, such as:
- 120 days (minimum) to 1 year behind bars
- 3 year license suspension
- $2000 in fines and fees
- Mandatory ignition interlock device
Third time DUI convicts often spend their full sentence in jail because DUI school as a replacement is difficult to receive. In addition, trying to obtain a restricted license – rather than one that is flat-out suspended – gets more and more difficult as your convictions add up.
