About Los Angeles DUI Charges
DUI (driving under the influence) is a relatively common criminal offense throughout Los Angeles. It is also very serious. In California, this crime is committed when an individual operates a motor vehicle while with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, or while under the influence of alcohol and/or a narcotic or other controlled substance. If convicted of DUI in Los Angeles, a driver may face such penalties as imprisonment, fines, community service and driver's license suspension. Probation is also likely.
The most important thing you can do after a drunk driving arrest is to contact a Los Angeles DUI attorney! Many Los Angeles drivers simply do not know what to do in the face of a DUI arrest or charge. They may feel as though accepting a plea bargain is their only option. They may think they have no chance of avoiding a conviction because they failed a breath test or field sobriety tests. By consulting a DUI lawyer and determining what rights and legal options you have, you can positively impact the outcome of your case.
