Facing DUI charges in San Diego?

San Diego DUI Lawyer can Help

Besides the typical DUI penalties that go along with a DUI conviction, and will be handed out upon sentencing, there are several alternative sentencing programs that may allow certain individuals who would be facing jail time that would result in the loss of their job to keep their job while still serving out their jail sentence. An alternative sentence can help you retain your livelihood and allow you to continue supporting yourself and your family. However, in order to purse alternative sentencing, you need an experienced San Diego DUI attorney who has dealt with alternative sentencing cases before.

If you are convicted of a second time DUI offense, which generally carries a jail sentence of 96 hours (4 days), you may be able to spend two weekends in jail, while keeping your weekdays free to continue your daily job. Unfortunately, a third DUI offense can mean a 120-day jail sentence, which can result in you losing your job. An alternative that you may want to pursue with your attorney is a form of house arrest called electronic surveillance. You will be able to go to and from work, but other than that you will be required to stay at your home. While electronic surveillance may not be ideal, it is certainly preferable to losing your career, and spending 4 months in county jail.
