Los Angeles & Orange County DUI Defense Attorneys

El Dabe Criminal Defense Lawyers

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Los Angeles or Orange County, our DUI attorneys can help. DUI is a criminal offense which, on the low end, can leave you with a license suspension of 4 months, and on the high end, can result in a permanently suspended license, jail time and fines.

DUI is the act of operating a motor vehicle while one’s abilities are impaired due to his or her consumption of alcohol or drugs. California law enforcement officers are increasingly aware of this offense and will pull over suspected drivers based on one or more of several criteria: swerving, speeding, disobeying traffic laws, or more.

If you are pulled over by an officer who suspects you to be driving under the influence, he or she will usually ask you to perform field sobriety tests such as walking in a straight line, following a light or object with your eyes, or taking a breathalyzer test. Depending upon the results of these tests, the officer may arrest you for DUI.

DUI in Los Angeles and Orange County

In California, if you are operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of over .08%, you are considered to be illegally driving under the influence. However, in any DUI case there are possibilities that your rights were violated, that the tests were performed improperly, or that some other requirement was not met – meaning you may not be found guilty of DUI.

If you have been arrested for DUI, it is vital that you contact an experienced DUI attorney right away. The DUI attorneys at El Dabe will be able to help you through the entire process after your arrest, including a DMV hearing and a trial if you have one.
