A Guide to Search Results for "DUI
Lawyer"
The search term "DUI
lawyer" or "DUI
attorneys" is usually used by people who are looking for information
about law firms that specialize in defending against criminal charges of
driving under the influence (also known as "DUI", "drunk driving"
or "DWI") in the State of California.
The laws
in California applicable to "drunk
driving" are harsh and extremely complex, as to the offenses, punishment
and administrative
license suspensions; normal constitutional protections often do not apply.
The offense can consist of driving under the influence of alcohol or a combination
of alcohol and drugs, which can be largely established with police opinion testimony,
or it can consist of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration of .08% or higher;
in most cases, both offenses will be charged. Police evidence may require addressing
complex issues concerning blood and breath alcohol analysis. Punishment involves
a labyrinth of statutes, requiring jail, fines, schools, license restrictions/suspensions,
ignition interlock devices, vehicle forfeiture, probation, etc.; some can involve
factual variables triggering so-called "enhancements", which further increase
the sentence. Separate from the criminal proceedings, the arrestee has the right
to demand a hearing to contest the administrative suspension of his or her driver's
license, where an entirely different set of laws and procedures apply.
Faced with the complexities
of a drunk driving criminal prosecution and with a DMV administrative license suspension
as well, it is imperative that one obtain the services of a good lawyer experienced
in this highly specialized field.
