Got charged with a DUI? Here are some of the penalties you might face in CA
01
First Time DUI
Typically, a first time DUI will be a misdemeanor. This will depend on the driver's BAC and if there were any accidents or injuries. Many first time DUIs may be settled without a consequence of jail time.

Are DUIs charged as misdemeanors or felonies in California? Well, they are wobblers…
02
Felony DUI
Felony DUIs often start as misdemeanor charges, but if there is some sort of enhancement, that elevates the crime to a felony. Common enhancements include high BAC, a crash, or injury to a victim.
03
Violations and Reassignment
Often times DUI convictions carry conditions such as paying fines, AA classes, or other obligations. When someone does not meet those obligations, a judge may issue a warrant for their arrest. The Rudolph Firm can help remedy warrants, extended deadlines, and get you reassigned to classes when missed.
