Driving Under the Influence

The State of California has very strict punishments for Driving Under the Influence convictions, whether it be your first, second, third, or even more.  Mandatory jail time, crippling fines, expensive and burdensome classes, interlock device requirements, alcohol monitoring devices, extensive probation periods, and drivers license suspensions are all potential punishments when you’re facing a DUI in California.  If you are facing your fourth DUI within less than 10 years, you could even potentially be facing up to three years in State Prison.

The process of handling a DUI is not one you should take lightly.  In most situations, you may only have 10 days from the time of your arrest to save your driver’s license, and it requires you to attend a special hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles.  Understanding the nuances of particular testing methods, the qualifications and credibility of the person who administered the tests (whether field sobriety or breath or blood alcohol content,) and the complicated science behind understanding true blood alcohol content becomes paramount in evaluating how to get you the best results possible.
