Whether it’s a misdemeanor or felony DUI, punishments for a DUI offense in Southern California including San Diego, can be very serious. Penalties may include loss of driver’s license, probation, jail time, hefty fines, mandatory court imposed alcohol programs and much higher auto insurance rates. It can also become increasingly difficult to get a job with a DUI conviction and no driver’s license.
