What Are the Penalties for a DUI in California?
If you are convicted of a DUI in California, you face a number of penalties. First, you will be required to pay a fine. You may also be required to attend a DUI program, which is a type of court-ordered treatment program that is designed to help you reduce your risk of reoffending. You may also be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle, which is a breathalyzer that prevents you from starting your vehicle if you have been drinking. If you are caught driving with a BAC of .08% or more, you will be required to install the device for a minimum of 6 months.
The length of time you may be required to install the device will depend on the number of prior DUIs you have. If this is your first DUI, you may be required to install the device for only 6 months. However, if this is not your first DUI, you may be required to install the device for up to 12 months.
What Is the BAC Limit in California?
In California, the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08%. This means that if you are pulled over and the police officer suspects that you are under the influence, they may ask you to take a breathalyzer test. You may be required to submit to a chemical test, which is a breathalyzer test. If you fail to submit to this test, your license may be suspended.

"As a defense attorney, I get to help individuals. I get to meet their families, find out about their background, and why they are in the situation they are in. I get to confirm that most people are good and some just have made mistakes along the way or have been put into very difficult situations. I get to represent them and tell their story so that they are seen as people and not just a name in a file."
This was probably one of the most complicated cases and the end result was good. I would highly recommend him and his rate is fair.
