Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs

DUI (driving under the influence) is a fairly common criminal offense that may result in serious penalties if you are convicted. You may face imprisonment and fines, in addition to community service, probation and counseling or rehabilitation. Additionally, you will face driver's license suspension if you do not contact the California DMV within 10 days of your arrest to challenge this. Fortunately, an attorney can contact the DMV for you and can represent you at the hearing held to address your license suspension.

About DUI Charges in San Diego County, California

The particular offense of driving under the influence involves operating a motor vehicle while with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, or while a driver's abilities are impaired due to alcohol or a controlled substance of some kind (narcotics, prescription drugs or even over-the-counter drugs.) Law enforcement may use a breath or blood test to determine a driver's blood alcohol concentration and field sobriety tests to prove mental or physical impairment.

Consult a San Diego DUI Defense Attorney

If you failed a breath test or took field sobriety tests and performed poorly, you may think your only chance is to accept a plea bargain or to accept your fate. This is simply not the case. There are numerous ways a San Diego DUI attorney can protect your rights and successfully defend you against a conviction and serious penalties - even in the face of the most serious charges or what seems like an "open and shut" case.
