Experienced Defense for Repeat DUI Offenders
If you have been charged with a second or third DUI offense within 10 years of your first one, you face serious criminal penalties, including mandatory license suspension, mandatory jail time and heavy fines. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can help minimize these consequences, keep your license and protect your rights.
At the San Diego Law Offices of Bill O'Connell, we have been representing the accused facing drinking and driving charges for more than 30 years. We know how the Southern California courts treat repeat DUI offenders and we know how to protect our clients throughout the criminal process.

In California, a second drunk driving offense carries a mandatory 96 hours in jail and a loss of license. A third accusation of driving under the influence can lead to a mandatory 120 days in custody. A fourth accusation may result in 180 days in custody; it can be charged as a felony DUI at the discretion of the prosecution. A fourth DUI offense may also count as a strike against you under California's three strike law if your actions caused bodily injury or death.
Easy to talk to and tough in the courtroom, we honestly assess your case and provide you with the information you need to understand the charges and penalties you face. We thoroughly examine your case to identify possible defenses and to determine the appropriate action, whether that is negotiating to minimize the damages or taking your case to trial.
If you are a repeat DUI offender and hire us as your criminal defense lawyer, we will represent you at the DMV hearing at no extra charge.
Tailored Defense to Your Case
While all DUI charges have similar attributes, no two cases are exactly alike. There may be unique factors that require special attention. We are ready to handle any challenges or aggravating circumstances attached to your DUI charge. We will tailor our defense to your unique situation.
