Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious crime in California. DUIs carry potential penalties including fines, license suspension, mandatory DUI programs, and even jail time. A DUI conviction can have long-term consequences. CRM Defense is prepared to help you navigate the consequences and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Law enforcement must have a valid reason to pull you over. If the stop was not legally justified, the charges against you could be dismissed.
Field sobriety tests are often subjective and prone to error. Medical conditions, poor road conditions, or even anxiety can affect performance and lead to inaccurate results.
DUI cases often rely heavily on chemical tests to determine blood alcohol content (BAC). These tests can be challenged based on improper calibration of equipment, mishandling of samples, or violations of testing protocols.
BAC levels can rise over time. If you consumed alcohol shortly before driving, your BAC might have been below the legal limit while driving but rose above it later during testing.
Penalties for DUI vary based on factors such as prior offenses, BAC level, and whether the incident caused injury.
For a first offense, penalties may include:
Repeat offenses or DUIs involving injury or death carry harsher consequences.
