Defend Against Subsequent DUI Offenses and Felony Charges

Defending Against Serious DUI-Related Criminal Charges

While any DUI crime is a serious matter deserving the attention of an experienced criminal defense attorney, repeat DUI offenses and drunk-driving incidents resulting in serious injury or death can lead to life-altering penalties. If you have been convicted of DUI in the past or if you were involved in an alcohol-related accident that caused injury or death, you are likely facing more than a typical DUI charge.

That is why your first action should be consulting criminal defense attorney Ken Peterson at Northern Utah Law. Representing people in Cache County and throughout northern Utah accused of serious felonies, Ken has the knowledge and resources to fight for your rights and freedom in Utah courts.

Progressive Penalties for DUI

Utah law takes the position that one DUI shows a certain degree of bad judgment, but every subsequent DUI evidences an increasingly reckless disregard for the safety of others. That is why each successive conviction results in more severe penalties, culminating in a felony record and lengthy incarceration:

Second offense

10 days to 180 days in jail
$1,520 to $2,500 fine
Two-year license revocation
Ignition interlock device for two years
Potential seizure and forfeiture of your vehicle

Third offense

62 days in jail to 5 years in prison
$2,580 to $5,000 fine
Two-year license revocation
Ignition interlock device for two years
Potential seizure and forfeiture of your vehicle

At Northern Utah Law, defense attorney Ken Peterson understands the effect these serious consequences can have on your life. Ken uses his considerable resources and past prosecutor experience to fight for people throughout northern Utah facing repeat and felony offense DUIs.
