Los Angeles is the City of Angels- home to sunny weather, sports championships, never-ending traffic and most notoriously, Hollywood. For many, the Walk of Fame is a hopeful reminder of the fame, fortune and promises of a better life. However, with fame comes attention, and with attention comes compromise. More and more often, celebrities are caught after a night out and pay one of the ultimate prices: a DUI.
Most recently the news has been targeting Lindsay Lohan for her multiple DUI convictions and probation offenses. With previous blogs stating a first offense penalties, be aware of multiple offenses to not make the same mistake.
A second offense entails:
- Jail: 90 Days to 1 Year
- Fine - From $390 to $1000
- License Suspension: 2 Years
- May Apply for Restricted Driver License (IID Required)
- Must Complete a Driving Under the Influence Program
- California SR22 Certificate Required for Restricted License
The third and fourth offenses increase to much greater penalties that no one should find out first hand. Protecting yourself with
an attorney who is experienced in DUIs is in your best interest. Talk to them and weigh out your options, because the costs of a mistake gets higher each time. A good attorney will be experienced in both federal and state tactics and will be aggressive in handling your case.
So let's take a cue from our fallen comrades, and in the search of fame- be careful of the choices you make. A mug shot is not the first image the public needs to see.
