I received a DUI before in my previous state, and just got a Misdemeanor DUI in the new state I live in. How does the record for

Yes, it is possible for the out of state DUI to count against you during your DUI Sentencing in CA.  Under California law, a conviction of an out-of-state offense that would have been a violation of California’s DUI laws (defined in the Vehicle Code) if committed in California does constitutes a conviction, and would count during your DUI sentencing.

For a second misdemeanor DUI within a 10 year period, there is a greater risk that you may be sentenced to county jail time ranging from 90 days to 1 year, and a fine ranging between $390 to $1000. If you are lucky enough to receive probation, the probation sentence may include (1) confinement in the county jail for ten days to one year or 96 hours to 1 year, (2) a fine of $390 to $1000, and (3) successful completion of an 18- month or 30-month DUI program.

In either case, your license will be suspended for up to 2 years, and you may not be qualified to received a restricted license. It is important that you speak with an experienced DUI attorney who can assess your case and help you achieve the most favorable sentencing possible.
