 California DUI Information
When someone is arrested for driving drunk in California, there are really two separate cases that go on at the same time: The criminal court case, and the DMV case. In criminal court, the accused is faced with fines, jail time, loss of driving privileges, being forced to attend an alcohol education program, being forced to install an ignition interlock device in their car, or even having their car impounded. As if all this weren’t enough, the DMV, in a completely separate case, wants to suspend the driver’s license for even longer. Without expert help, the consequences are severe.
 Expert California DUI Lawyer Information
Choosing the right DUI lawyer is the first step in the successful defense of a drunk driving case. Because of the unique and complex issues that arise in nearly every DUI arrest, you need an attorney that has specialized training and experience. It's important to find an aggressive lawyer that will give your case the personalized attention needed to win both in criminal court and at the DMV hearing.
California Drunk Driving Laws
 In California, there are two ways for someone to be convicted of drunk driving: if their driving is impaired because of alcohol or other drugs, or just by driving with .08% or more of alcohol in their body. A person under 21 can be charged with DUI at .05% or less. Under California's implied consent laws, every licensed driver agrees to submit to a breath test or blood test if they are arrested for DUI. That’s why punishment can be more severe if there is a breath or chemical test refusal. There are many reasons why breath or blood test results can be wrong, and that is why anyone accused of driving while intoxicated needs the help of a DUI lawyer that specializes in DUI defense.
