We Fight “Enhancements”

 
More severe penalties are required by law for cases when certain “enhancements” are admitted or proven. For example, if the case involves excessive speeding (20-30 miles over speed limit depending on the case), refusing to submit to chemical testing, prior offenses within the last TEN years, having a child age 14 or under in the car or having excessive blood-alcohol content levels.

• Speeding enhancements dictate a minimum 60-day jail sentence.
• If the driver refused chemical testing, the driver's license suspension is increased to one year.
• Prior convictions increase jail sentences and license suspensions; three or more changes the offense to a felony, punishable by commitment to state prison.

In cases when enhancements are charged, our goal is to first attack the DUI charges and then to attack the enhancement charges.

I have been very successful in having the enhancement charges dismissed for my clients.
