Most importantly, people who have been convicted of a DUII violation in Eugene, OR also face a suspended Oregon driver’s license for a year. If you have recently been charged with a DUII violation in Eugene, it would be in your best interest to talk to a Eugene criminal defense attorney.

Most first time DUII offenders will choose to go through the Oregon DUII diversion program which will avert the mandatory fines, jail time or community service as well as expunge the DUII from their record upon completion of the program.

Repeat DUII Offenders

Repeat DUII offenders in Eugene, Oregon no longer have the option of enrolling in the diversion program and are required to pay the fines and choose between jail time or community service. The biggest impact of a DUII on your daily quality of life is from getting your license suspended. The first DUII offense will result in a one year license suspension. The second DUII offense will result in a 3 year suspension if it is your 2nd conviction within 5 years as well as the mandatory minimum sentencing of the first DUII (2 days in jail or 80 hours of community service work as well as a $1000 fine). A third DUII offense will result in a mandatory lifetime license suspension with no eligibility for a hardship permit. A fourth offense will result in a Class C felony under ORS 813.010(5)(a) if you have been convicted of 3 prior DUIIs within the past 10 years. A Felony DUII is categorized as a 6 on the sentencing grid. This means prison time if you have certain prior criminal offenses on your record.
