DUI

A DUI conviction carries one of the harshest mandatory penalties in California. From expensive fines and penalty assessments to an automatic suspension of your driver’s license and completion of a DUI education program, a skilled DUI attorney is paramount to the success of your legal defense.

DUI charges are the most common serious traffic crimes in California. As a result, police agencies throughout the state make a concerted effort to target drunk drivers for arrest. In addition, the California legislature has continually enacted new DUI laws and amended existing laws to mandate increasingly harsher punishments for those convicted. Many people arrested for DUI in California incorrectly assume they have no hope of avoiding a DUI conviction and driver’s license suspension simply because their breathalyzer and/or blood test yielded BAC results above 0.08.
