Misdemeanor 23152.
Image via Wikipedia
(a) It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.
(b) It is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.
What does it mean?
In California you cannot drive with a .08 Blood Alcohol or above, OR be under the influence of alocohol. In some prosecutions I have seen a jury has been known to convict with a Blood Alcohol as low .05 Blood Alcohol. My office however, has never had anyone convicted of a DUI with under a .08 Blood Alcohol.
Although we can legally make no promises as to likelihood of success, I feel there is no reason to believe that is likely to change in the future. While a DUI conviction can be a life changing event, a good lawyer starts the case looking at the possible defenses. For more information please click the DUI Defenses link.
VERY IMPORTANT:
A DUI is not the end of the world, and with an attorney you trust you have a chance at reduced penalties, reduced charges, or even a dismissal.
There are dozens of certifications attorneys can obtain, the most important question you can ask however is not what groups did my lawyer join, but do I trust him to fight for me?
Feel free to read my reviews on other sites, including Kudzu.com under my office name, Hale Law Group. Your attorney should be willing to allow you to see what other clients have experienced with them. Also, make sure when you read the reviews, to look at whether the words sound genuine, and from a client.
I believe you should be able to trust your attorney, don't you?
