DUI: Charges & Penalties
One of the most commonly committed crimes in San Diego is DUI. All too often, people assume that it is okay to get behind the wheel of a car after having one or a few drinks. What people are unaware of, however, is the fact that the state of California has zero tolerance when it comes to drunk driving. People only become aware of this fact after they have been arrested and are riding in the back of a police car.
Many people tend to overlook the urgency of a DUI offense, mostly because they believe that the consequences will be minor – which is a huge mistake. Prosecutors seek maximum penalties for DUI offenders and enhanced penalties for any repeat DUI offenders; they will not "go easy" on a defendant simply because this is their first offense. DUI in California has many different consequences, criminal and personal. Many people who are convicted of DUI face
license suspension and large fines. After their sentence has been served and the fine has been paid, they may also face difficulty with their personal life, such as their employment or other personal relationships. Many people experience job loss and expulsion from community groups as a result of a conviction.
If you have been charged with drunk driving, we offer a wide variety of DUI defense services including those pertaining to
first time DUI,
underage DUI,
DUI with injury,
DUI of drugs,
felony DUI and
license suspension. If you're seeking someone to help you through a
