Bakersfield DUI Prior Convictions

While it is a good idea to hire a Bakersfield DUI defense attorney when you are charged with a DUI, it is almost necessary to hire one if you are being charged with a 2nd or 3rd DUI. You will be facing much higher fines, jail time and other penalties. 

Wobbler
An arrest for a 4^th DUI is considered a “wobbler.” A “wobbler” means that the charge can be pursued as a Bakersfield DUI misdemeanor or a Bakersfield felony DUI. In most cases the 4^th DUI is charged as a felony, in which case you will need a Bakersfield DUI law firm to help you with this much more difficult case.
