A criminal charge against you is unique to you. It will affect you differently than the next person based on what’s going on in your life at the time. An unfavorable outcome to a case could have far reaching effects including school applications, security clearances, background checks, possession of firearms, and even professional licenses.

In the state of California, a DUI charge can lead to jail time, the suspension of driving privileges, costly penalties and court fees. Even for a first time offender, a DUI misdemeanor charge can result in the suspension of driving privileges for at least six months, up to six months of jail time, and fines and fees as high as $4500. Court-mandated mandated drug and/or alcohol classes lasting three to nine months are also likely. For individuals with prior DUI offenses, the penalties are greater.
One of the most common traps for clients seeking criminal defense representation are “law mills.” As the name suggests, these are firms that retain clients aggressively, but do not work the cases with that same aggression. This is truly an epidemic in busy judicial counties, where firms will retain clients, only to hire “appearances lawyers” to do all the work. In severe cases, some firms will retain clients only to delegate the ENTIRE CASE to some unknown attorney!

We don’t simply clock in at 9 and clock out at 5
The support staff, and attorneys at San Diego DUI Attorney do not simply pretend to care about you and your case. As opposed to many other firms, where your call will not be taken outside of regular business hours; you can call any time of day and your attorney will keep you informed of the process. We take pride in our ability to put our client’s minds at ease that we are always working to provide our clients the best possible outcome.
Our confidence in the fact that our level of service and dedication are unique allows us to say this with the utmost confidence: if you can and are able to discover a firm with proven results who is available 24/7, hire them. We are confident that another firm of the same caliber as San Diego DUI Attorney does not exist. San Diego DUI Attorney has become what it is because it was built on a foundation of success, vigor, and integrity.
Over the past years, our attorneys have represented a wide range of clients, and against a vast number of criminal charges. Our attorney has represented clients in matters ranging from small misdemeanor offenses to serious felonies, including murder cases. Our attorneys have appeared as counsel on cases involving just one defendant, and have appeared as counsel on cases involving complex issues and several criminal defendants, our attorneys strive to provide high caliber representation in criminal matters of clients.
We do our best to adhere to our bedrock principles; integrity, dedication, and vigor. We approach each, and every, case with professionalism; we will be respectful, but we will not waiver in the face of pressure. We will advocate vigorously, but we will never take a position that is contrary to our clients’ best interests. Our integrity, and commitment to justice, is one of the many reasons we have earned the respect of clients and the legal community.
A frequent error made by other law firms, is that they miss the big picture about what a “good” criminal defense firm looks like. It is undeniable that professionalism is a major part of success, they don’t want to agitate the Prosecutor, or hassle the judge. Unfortunately, many firms value “professionalism” over the vigorous representation of their clients’ interests. This could be caused by many things, but the end result is that the attorneys who value professionalism over zealous defense are frequently ineffective. Since the prosecutor, or judge, is aware that these attorneys are unlikely to fight back against unfavorable outcomes, those attorneys can be pushed around; why would the prosecutor negotiate fairly when they know someone won’t fight back against unfair terms.
At San Diego DUI Attorney, we’re not afraid to fight back when the prosecutor is trying to drive an unfair bargain; most prosecutors have already learned not to mistake our professionalism for weakness – we are in court to protect your rights and freedom.
Over the years in practice we have been honing our craft and perfecting our understanding of the criminal process. Our firm but assertive approach to the criminal process has resulted in outstanding success.
When arrested for drunk driving, clients often have many questions. Is there jail time involved? Do I need a criminal defense attorney? How much will this cost? What is an arraignment? Can a DUI charge be overcome? Will I lose my license? How do I handle the DMV? Knowing your rights and acquiring a qualified attorney will help provide answers and peace of mind before a court hearing occurs.
Our website and blog contain further information on a variety of topics associated with DUI charges. Additionally, the following information provides a foundation to help you get started. Please feel free to contact San Diego DUI Attorney for a free consultation so that we may thoroughly discuss the details of your case as soon as possible.
An arraignment is the initial court appearance following a DUI charge and arrest. At this hearing, the charges will be brought forth and a plea will need to be entered. You can make a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. Additionally, you have the right to challenge the charge brought against you. To do this, you must plead not guilty and the court will schedule a trial. Without an attorney, the arraignment hearing can be a confusing, frustrating, and complicated process. A DUI attorney will assist you throughout this entire process, ensuring that you understand your rights, and that those rights are always being protected.
If you would like to dispute the suspension of your license, either you, or your attorney, need to call the DMV Driver’s Safety Office within 10 days of your arrest. If you do not request the hearing within 10 days, you waive the right to dispute the suspension. This also applies for individuals with an out-of-state driver’s license; in which case, the suspension will go into effect in the state from which the license was issued. An experienced DUI attorney will assist you through the DMV hearing process and fight for a positive outcome.
Assisting in the avoidance of the loss of your California driving privileges.
During an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI), the police officer will likely confiscate your driver’s license, provide you a temporary license, and issue a notice of suspension. The temporary license is valid for 30 days from the date that it was issued. After those 30 days, the license suspension goes into effect. We can intervene for you and prevent your suspension from going into effect after the 30 days until your case is resolved, or you have a DMV hearing which always occurs after the 30 days. The length of the suspension depends on the severity of the charge and is typically from 30 days to a year. Refusing a chemical test after arrest can result in a license suspension of one year. If you have prior DUI convictions, two to ten years can be added to the license suspension. It’s important to note that suspensions issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may apply even if the DUI charges are dismissed or reduced to another charge.
However, you do have the ability to dispute the suspension of your license if you request an administrative DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest. One of our attorneys can attend the hearing with you to walk you through the process and provide the best opportunity to retain your driving privileges.
In defending your DUI case, we aggressively seek out every possible defense strategy. We realize that there are in excess of 50 causes of BAC and breathalyzer tests being inaccurate, that arresting officers often fall into legal missteps or violate the rights of arrestees, and that every piece of evidence presented against you can be challenged. We possess high-tech computer software capable of analyzing your metabolic processes to build a defense. No stone is left unturned, and we tenaciously pursue your interests by every means possible.
A prosecuting attorney may attempt to convince you that the case against you is indisputable, but that is often very misleading and incorrect. Our attorneys can examine the specifics of each case and assist in finding the most effective defense against your DUI charge. The attorneys at San Diego DUI Attorney are experienced and dedicated to representing you as effectively as possible.
In California, driving under the influence (DUI) is a criminal offense, as well as a grave traffic violation. Over time, the state has consistently increased the penalties for DUI in a bid to check the injuries and fatalities that arise from drunk driving. These penalties range from significant fines to lengthy prison terms. With such serious ramifications, a DUI arrest means that you need an attorney who understands the intricate details of a DUI defense.

California law prohibits you from driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, drugs, or both. The state considers you to be under the influence when your faculties have inhibitions due to drugs or alcohol. Inhibition means that you cannot function in a way that a reasonable person would under similar circumstances. California’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%, but stricter standards apply for specific categories of drivers.
Upon your arrest for DUI, you must answer to two separate DUI cases. The first is a criminal offense, which you must fight in court, while the second is a DMV procedure to safeguard your driver’s license from revocation or suspension. Regardless of the type of DUI charges, Barona DUI Attorney will represent you at the DMV hearing as well as during court trials for any of the following offenses:
Although a first DUI offense is a misdemeanor, it is still a serious crime. It can earn you misdemeanor probation for up to five years or even a six-month jail term. Upon conviction, you may get a restricted license and retain your driving privileges after you install an IID in your car for at least four months. If the court does not grant you a restricted license, you will get a six-month license suspension. You can only avoid a license suspension if you request and win a DMV hearing, or the court does not convict you for DUI.
Other possible outcomes of a first DUI offense are:
A DUI offense also results in indirect repercussions, such as higher auto insurance premiums. More importantly, DUIs count as priors. Therefore your first DUI will remain on your criminal record. It will count for at least ten years, and you will receive stiffer penalties for subsequent DUI convictions.
Since every DUI offense counts as a prior, each successive conviction for wet reckless or DUI in under ten years enhances the punishment. A second DUI is a misdemeanor whose penalties are:
Having a third DUI conviction within ten years will present more severe ramifications than the first or second DUI conviction. This enhancement arises because all DUI convictions count as priors. A third DUI is a misdemeanor whose penalties include:
A felony DUI is more grave than a misdemeanor DUI, and its penalties are harsher. You will face felony DUI charges if:
A Barona DUI Attorney can defend and help you avoid the possible penalties for felony DUI, which include:
The court may sentence you to four-year incarceration for felony DUI causing injury. The sentence may be longer if:
California’s Zero Tolerance law does not allow persons aged below 21 years to consume alcoholic beverages. It also prohibits them from driving when their BAC exceeds 0.01%. Violating this law is not a crime, but an infraction, meaning that a conviction will not put you behind bars. However, it carries the following penalties:
California law defines a drug as a substance or mixture of chemicals that affect the muscles, brain, or nervous system. They can also impair your ability to drive in a way a rational, cautious person would. Drugs include:
A first offense DUID is a misdemeanor that mostly does not include jail time if no third party sustains injuries. The potential penalties are:
Penalties for a second and successive DUID conviction include:
Your DUID becomes a felony if:
The penalties for felony DUID depend on your specific charges and your criminal history. They include:
Injuring another person due to DUI is a crime, even if your BAC is within the legal limit of less than 0.08%. The prosecution will charge you if they think their case is strong, so long as the amount of drugs or alcohol in your system is measurable. If your BAC equals or exceeds 0.08%, the offense is a definite DUI.
The penalties will depend on several factors, such as your criminal history, especially previous DUI convictions, and the injuries that the victim suffers. Your conduct after the accident, such as hit and run, will also play a vital role in determining your punishment. The penalties for a first DUI causing injury include:
The offense counts as a prior. Therefore, the penalties increase with subsequent convictions for wet reckless or DUI. If it is your third DUI causing injury, the charge automatically becomes a felony with stiffer and long-lasting penalties.
This crime occurs when you unlawfully kill a person while you drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is a felony, for which a conviction comes with:
Gross negligence is more than a regular mistaken judgment, inattention, or carelessness. It is when your behavior is extremely different from how a typical careful person would act in similar circumstances. It is behaving without concern for the consequences of your actions or consideration for human life. You are grossly negligent when:
Gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated is a grave felony offense and a strike under California’s Three Strikes Law. A conviction will significantly enhance the consequences of any future crimes.
Negligent vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated
The prosecution will charge you with this offense if you:
The penalties vary depending on the type of charges. They include:
A regular DUI conviction comes with its set of severe punishment. However, the presence of some factors can enhance the standard DUI penalties either by increasing the sentences or elevating the charges to higher levels. Such aggravating factors include:
Depending on the specific details of your case and your criminal record, the most common forms of enhanced penalties include:
In addition to the consequences directly related to the criminal charges, you may also incur:
DUI convictions count as priors for ten years. Having such a criminal record for such a long time can have far-reaching effects on your life. Fortunately, a Barona DUI Attorney can help you fight and avoid a conviction. If the police arrest you for any DUI crime, call us at 619-535-7150. Our goal is to oppose the charges against you and do everything we possibly can to get an outcome in your favor.
A DUI charge may be overwhelming to handle on your own, especially with the many DUI laws that have to be considered when pressing the charges. Additionally, when most people get pulled over for suspected DUI, they usually do not know how to handle themselves to avoid more trouble. A few others do not know the consequences they would face when convicted of a DUI offense.
The most crucial thing to understand is that a DUI charge takes many forms, and each form has its repercussions. The consequences can be severe, depending on the DUI charges you are facing. However, all is not lost. You can still avoid these penalties by hiring an experienced DUI attorney to represent you in the court proceedings. At San Diego DUI Attorney, we provide legal representation to any person in Banner and the whole of San Diego facing any DUI-related charges. If you have been arrested on DUI allegations, reach out to us as soon as possible. In this article, we look at the basics of a DUI charge, including DUI laws, penalties, and forms.
Several laws govern DUI in California to try and curb the drunk-driving problem. For starters, we have Vehicle Code 23152a, which is the subjective standard DUI law. This law makes it a criminal offense to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Being under the influence means your mental or physical abilities are impaired to a level that you can’t drive as good as a sober driver would. Note that you can be charged under this law even if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was below .08%. Other DUI laws include:
The DUI per se law is defined under VC 23152b. The law provides that it is an offense to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more. Generally, this law establishes that after a person is proven to have a BAC of .08% or more, he/she will be considered by law to be under the influence. This is irrespective of whether they are actually impaired or under the influence. Therefore, in circumstances like these, the arresting officer will need no further proof of impairment or intoxication to charge you with DUI.
Therefore, alcohol drinking persons must know that irrespective of how sober they feel, it’s their BAC that counts when they decide to drive. Should the BAC be more than the per se standard legal limit, it will legally be presumed that they are impaired. The per se law makes it simple for the prosecutor to prove that a person was impaired without needing more of an on-scene assessment like sobriety testing.
Still, the DUI per se law doesn't mean that if you register a .08% BAC or more, then you will directly be convicted of DUI. For instance, with the help of an experienced Banner DUI Attorney, you can challenge the validity of the test results, the equipment used to administer the test, or the procedure used. Challenging the charges may have you acquitted.
Note that the per se law doesn’t apply in DUI of drugs.
After a police officer pulls you over for suspected DUI, he/she will generally check for any signs that show you are impaired. He/she may also ask you to do a breathalyzer test so he/she can determine your BAC. However, not every driver willingly agrees to do a breath test, and a police officer cannot force drunk-driving suspects to blow into a breathalyzer.
Under the implied consent law, drivers are required to consent to a breath test after a DUI arrest for the officer to determine if they are impaired. Note that the law applies only to breath tests after a driver is lawfully arrested for DUI. This means you can still decline to submit to a preliminary alcohol screening breath test before being arrested.
However, If you refuse to do the test, you will be said to have violated the implied consent law. In this case, you risk an automatic suspension of your driver’s license for one year. You may also receive enhanced penalties that add to the standard DUI penalties.
Note that implied consent law applies to all drivers in Banner. This includes state residents who hold a California driver’s license as well as non-state residents who have an out-of-state driver’s license.
You may not feel drunk. Even better, you may be under the standard legal limit for BAC required for a regular DUI. However, you would still be in trouble if you are under the acceptable alcohol consumption age of 21 years. In Banner, there are different legal standards for underage drunk-drivers.
VC 23136 is the zero-tolerance law on underage drunk-driving. You will have violated this law if you’re under 21 years old, and you operate a vehicle with any measurable alcohol content in your blood system. Remember, it is not a must that you are under the influence or impaired to be charged with underage drunk-driving. Even driving with a BAC of as low as 0.01% would get you arrested. This means even taking a glass of wine at dinner may subject an underage driver to a drunk-driving charge.
VC 23136 is not an actual crime, but a civil violation. However, if you do not take a step to challenge the citation, you can be subjected to a mandatory driver’s license suspension of one year. And if you don’t possess a driver’s license at the time of the arrest, you will be subjected to a delay of one year in obtaining one.
If you have been arrested for underage DUI, you should talk to your Banner DUI Attorney as soon as possible. This is to give the attorney ample time to gather evidence and build a defense strategy that could help you win the charges.
DUI in Banner carries severe penalties. The penalties are imposed depending on how many DUI convictions you have faced within ten years. They also depend on the facts of your case. They are as follows:
When you get convicted of drunk-driving in Banner for the first time; that will be your first DUI offense. The possible penalties for a first-time misdemeanor DUI offense include:
A second offense DUI occurs when you get convicted of DUI for a second time within ten years of the commission of the first offense. The penalties for a second misdemeanor DUI offense include:
A third DUI offense is charged if, within ten years, you get arrested for drunk-driving for the third time. The consequences for a misdemeanor third offense include:
You will be charged with felony DUI if you acquire four or more drunk-driving convictions within ten years. The consequences for a felony DUI are:
DUI causing injury is defined under VC 23153. This is a wobbler offense, meaning it a prosecutor can charge you with either a felony or a misdemeanor. How the prosecutor chooses to charge you depends on the facts of the case and your criminal record. If convicted of a drunk-driving offense where another person who is not you sustained an injury or injuries, you may face the following consequences:
Misdemeanor DUI causing injury
Felony DUI causing injury
Note that a DUI that results in death is sentenced differently. Its penalties could include a strike on a defendant’s criminal record and life imprisonment.
Sometimes Banner courts can sentence you to probation instead of a jail/prison sentence. If this is the case, you will be required to adhere to certain conditions. They include:
Also, based on the facts of your case, you may be required to:
If you violate any of the terms mentioned above, you may be subjected to penalties associated with violating probation terms.
A standard DUI charge carries severe consequences already. However, certain circumstances can lead to increased consequences that go beyond the typical sentences that are usually imposed after a drunk-driving conviction. If aggravating factors are present in a case, they can lead to increased punishment by increasing the scope of potential sentences. Or, they can raise the actual charges to a higher level.
Also, note that aggravating factors will enhance your DUI punishment irrespective of whether it is your first, second, third, fourth, or subsequent offense. The following are examples of circumstances that can result in an aggravated drunk-driving charge with increased penalties in Banner.
The type of increased penalty you get for any of the above aggravating factors depends on the facts of your DUI case and your criminal record. However, if you can get an experienced Banner DUI Attorney by your side, he/she may succeed striking off these aggravating factors from your case. He/she may do this by building a strong defense that would convince the judge to reconsider, including the factors in your sentence. In turn, you will receive lenient penalties than you would have received with these factors present.
Alternative DUI sentencing options refer to alternative sentences other than jail/prison time in case of a drunk-driving conviction. They may include:
Attorneys who do not specialize in DUI defense might not even be aware that these alternative sentences exist. Or, if they know, they might not know how best to persuade the judge or prosecuting attorney to get to impose them. That is why it is critical to hire specifically a Banner DUI Attorney who specializes in DUI defense to defend your case. He/she would know what strategies to employ to minimize your DUI penalties.
Plea bargains in DUI cases refer to negotiated alternatives to escalating a case to a jury trial. Typically, a plea bargain involves either:
To get a reduction in your sentence, you first plead guilty to a DUI offense. In turn, you are presented with several agreed-upon penalty suggestions. Receiving these suggestions avoids the uncertainty you would have while waiting to find out what sentence the judge would impose if you are convicted at trial.
A reduction in charges involves you admitting guilt of a lesser charge. A reduced charge is a result of a negotiation between the prosecutor and your attorney. Generally, if your charges are reduced, you will face lighter penalties compared to the original conviction of DUI.
Plea bargaining comes with several advantages. For instance, if you have a sentence reduction, chances are you will have a more lenient sentence, and you get to know what punishment awaits you in advance. On the other hand, if you have a charge reduction, you may not be subjected to a mandatory suspension of your driver’s license. Also, in other cases, there will be no priorability. By this, it means your case won’t be treated as a priorable offense. If a crime is priorable, it will count as a prior offense if you are later convicted of a DUI offense within a ten-year look-back period for drunk-driving. Other advantages of a charge reduction include:
Note that various charge reductions would still be priorable. By this, it means they would still be considered as prior convictions if you are rearrested for DUI of alcohol or drugs. For example, wet reckless still counts as a priorable offense.
Typical forms of DUI charge reductions
The most known charge reductions that your Banner DUI Attorney can bargain for include:
