What Is Aggravated DUI?

Aggravated DUI is a more serious form of DUI. It is charged when a person is accused of driving under the influence and has one or more aggravating factors. These factors can include:

• Having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15% or higher
• Driving with a minor in the vehicle
• Driving on a suspended or revoked license
• Having multiple DUI convictions within a certain period of time
• Causing an accident that results in serious bodily injury or death

Aggravated DUI is a felony offense, which means it carries more severe penalties than a misdemeanor DUI. If you are facing these charges, you need to take them seriously. Reach out to our team right away to learn how we can help you.

How Long Do You Go to Jail for Aggravated DUI?

If you are convicted of aggravated DUI, you could face up to 3 years in state prison. However, the exact length of your sentence will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. For example, if you caused an accident that resulted in serious bodily injury or death, you could face a longer sentence. That is why it is so important to have an experienced attorney on your side. At Schweitzer & Davidian, we will fight to protect your rights and your freedom.

How Long Does an Aggravated DUI Stay on Your Record?

In California, an aggravated DUI conviction will stay on your record for 10 years. However, if you are convicted of a subsequent DUI offense within that 10-year period, the conviction will remain on your record for 20 years. That is why it is so important to fight your charges. We will work tirelessly to get your charges reduced or dismissed. If that is not possible, we will fight to get you the best possible outcome.

Can You Get a DUI Expunged in California?

Yes, you can get a DUI expunged in California. An expungement is a legal process that allows you to have your conviction dismissed. Once your conviction is dismissed, you will no longer be considered “guilty” of the offense. However, it is important to note that an expungement will not erase your conviction from your record. Instead, it will show that your conviction was dismissed. If you are facing DUI charges, you need to speak to an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
