Legal Question in DUI Law in California

You should definitely speak with an attorney. A conviction for driving on a suspended license when a license has been suspended for a DUI has a mandatory minimum 10 days jail time, a fine of around $1,000, and requires installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. In addition, this will also be a violation of your probation, for which the court has the discretion to sentence you up to the maximum amount of jail time allowed for your conviction on underlying DUI.

Yes to all the above. It is a misdemeanor with up to 6 months jail and $1000 fine [which would be over $4000 total with the penalty assessments]. It is up to your attorney to help try to keep you out of jail and minimize the penalties, using whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for plea bargaining or at trial. That is what he does in 'plea bargaining' with the DA and court. If serious about hiring counsel to do so, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.
