DUI Defense

It is illegal drive or operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. When a driver operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he/she not only jeopardizes his/her own life, but also puts the lives of innocent drivers and passengers at risk as well. In California, a person cannot operate a motor vehicle if his/her blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above 0.08%. If the driver is under the age of 21, he/she cannot operate a motor vehicle with a BAC above 0.01%. After a driver has been pulled over on suspicion of DUI, the police officer will most likely test his/her BAC, either through a series of standardized field sobriety tests, or by a breathalyzer or blood test. If the driver’s BAC exceeds the legal limit, he/she will be arrested and charged with DUI.

Driving under the influence impairs drivers’ physical coordination and mental alertness, potentially resulting in an accident, injury, and or even death. For this reason, judges and prosecutors seek to punish DUI offenders to the fullest extent of the law. DUI offenders face a number of serious legal penalties, such as steep fines, probation, possible jail sentences, driver’s license suspension, community service, alcohol treatment programs, and a mark on their criminal record.
