Third or Fourth Offense DUI? We'll Fight to Keep You Out of Jail.
If you have been charged with a multiple-offense DUI, you probably are already aware that you are in some serious legal trouble. In California, repeat offenders face severe consequences, including mandatory jail time for a third conviction within ten years. A fourth DUI conviction is generally charged as a felony DUI, meaning at least a year in state prison. It should be plainly obvious that experienced defense representation is a must in these cases.
Hutton & Wilson is recognized as one of the region's leading DUI defense firms. Attorneys Rich Hutton and Bob Wilson have more than 50 years of combined experience in DUI-related trial defense and will aggressively fight to have your multiple-offense charge reduced to a non-alcohol charge. We are not a DUI defense mill. Our philosophy about driving under the influence cases is that there is always a legal defense to be argued. That's why prepare every case for trial, where we have an excellent track record of jury verdicts.
A Trial Carries Risks and May Not Be In Your Best Interest
We know that a trial brings added risk for many of our clients. If you are sincere about finding a sobriety program, we are often able to work with the district attorney to find an alternative probation sentence and diversion program that will avoid a conviction, upon successful completion. In all cases, we work hard to knock the charge down to an alcohol-related reckless driving or other 'wet' charge that doesn't carry the weight of a full DUI conviction for a multiple time.
"We really do care about your problem. Even a second offense is too many. If you are serious about getting sober, we will work with the prosecutor to find the right program for you. Our goal is to help you stay out of prison while you get the help you and your family needs." — Attorney Rich Hutton
We Take Care of Everything
For many of our clients, the possible loss of their driver's license or CDL is the most serious consequence of a DUI conviction. We handle all DUI cases as two cases — the driver's license suspension hearing and the criminal trial. We fight aggressively to ensure that you maintain your driving privileges while your case progresses through the criminal justice system.

From our offices in Pasadena, California, we represent clients in communities throughout the Los Angeles metro region.
