What Is a Multiple DUI Offense?

In New Hampshire, a multiple DUI offense is any DUI charge that occurs within 10 years of a previous DUI conviction. It is important to note that the 10-year period is calculated from the date of conviction, not the date of the offense. In other words, if you are convicted of DUI in 2020 and are charged with another DUI in 2021, the second DUI charge will be considered a multiple DUI offense.

It is also important to note that, in New Hampshire, a multiple DUI offense does not require a conviction. If you have been charged with a second or subsequent DUI, it is crucial that you retain the services of an experienced multiple DUI lawyer in Nashua who can help you fight your charges and protect your future. The legal team at Bernazzani Law is prepared to assist you.
