Multiple Offense DUI in Reno

Protect Your Future. Serving Sparks, Truckee & Washoe County.

A first DUI conviction is typically filed as a misdemeanor and includes jail time, community service, and fines. If you have a series of DUI convictions however, your legal situation is dangerous. State lawmakers have imposed extreme penalties on those with multiple DUI convictions. 

Second DUI Penalties: Misdemeanor

For a second DUI conviction, the penalties are increased:

  • Jail time: 10 days up to six months
  • Fines: $750 to $1,000
  • Mandated evaluation: Alcohol and drug dependency
  • Required attendance: Victim Impact Panel
  • IID: Ignition interlock device installed for 185 days
  • License suspension: 1 year 

Third DUI Penalties: Felony 

  • Jail time: one to six years in state prison.
  • Fines: $2,000 to $5,000.
  • Mandated evaluation: Alcohol and drug dependency
  • Required attendance: Victim Impact Panel
  • IID: Ignition interlock device for 12 to 36 months (at your own cost)
  • Three years license suspension

You may have the option to avoid a felony charge with participation in a state approved program.

If any person was injured or died in an accident in which you are accused of DUI driving, you will be charged with a felony DUI. The penalties imposed can include up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $5,000. If you have three prior DUI convictions on your record, you will be charged with vehicular homicide, which can mean life in prison.
