We encourage you to come in for a free consultation and meet the DUI lawyer who will personally represent you in court. Our experienced DUI trial attorneys will personally litigate your case in court, rather than brand new lawyers or contract attorneys whom you never personally meet.

California DUI Laws: Felony and Misdemeanor Offenses (.08% Alcohol or Drugs)

In California, if you are driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or above, or have drugs in your system, you may be charged with a DUI in court.  A DUI is a criminal offense which is charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor crime. If you, or someone you care about, have been arrested for drunk driving, it is important to immediately contact a Los Angeles DUI attorney.  A misdemeanor charge of DUI, or driving under the influence, is a serious offense which can result in fines, alcohol school, probation, community service, and jail time – even for a first time offense. A felony DUI charge may be filed in criminal court as a result of bodily injury or death resulting from a traffic collision. This offense carries the possibility of a severe state prison sentence. We understand that a DUI arrest may have devastating results, and we work aggressively to dismiss or reduce all related misdemeanor and felony charges including Possession of Illegal Drugs, Driving on a Suspended License, Hit & Run, and Reckless Driving.
