Working Towards Dismissal or Reduction of the Charges
My 27 years’ of experience as a defense lawyer and my understanding of how the counties in the Bay Area prosecute drunk driving cases help me quickly assess your chances of avoiding conviction and craft a case that maximizes your options. As a lawyer practicing in the lovely Bay Area of California, I get many calls from college-aged adults charged with a DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated).
Matching Defense to County of Arrest — To Max Outcome
Depending on what county you have been arrested for DUI in, my defense and focus may change. In every case, however, one thing remains: I will review every part of the case against you. If the police stopped you illegally, they did not conduct a proper search or the blood test is not valid, I will seek to have the case dismissed for you.
Seek a Lawyer Immediately to Protect Your Rights
Drunk driving convictions come with serious consequences. The fines for a first offense (class B) can be up to $2,000 and from three to 90 days in county jail. Fines can run up to $10,000 and two years in jail for a third offense (third-degree felony). In addition, your insurance rates will increase significantly.
Never go into the court unarmed — even if you plan to just plead guilty. There are ways an attorney can negotiate and defend that can help reduce the penalties, even if you do plead guilty or no contest. An attorney can also tell you what to expect every step of the way.
