If you have been arrested for DUI in Los Angeles, Riverside, or San Bernardino counties, we will work tirelessly to protect your rights and minimize the impact on your future.

Understanding California DUI Laws

In California, DUI charges are based on:

• Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Limits:
  • 0.08% or higher for drivers 21 and older.
  • 0.04% or higher for commercial drivers.
  • 0.01% or higher for drivers under 21 (zero-tolerance law).
• Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) – Driving while impaired by prescription medications, illegal drugs, or marijuana can also result in a DUI charge.
• Refusing a Breathalyzer or Blood Test – California’s “implied consent” law requires drivers to submit to chemical testing after a lawful DUI arrest. Refusing the test may result in automatic license suspension.

DUI Penalties in California

Penalties for a DUI conviction depend on prior offenses, BAC levels, and aggravating factors. Possible consequences include:

• First DUI Offense:
  • License suspension (6 months).
  • Fines up to $2,000.
  • DUI education program (3–9 months).
  • Possible jail time (up to 6 months).
• Second DUI Offense:
  • License suspension (2 years).
  • Fines up to $2,500.
  • Mandatory DUI treatment program.
  • Possible jail time (up to 1 year).
• Third DUI Offense:
  • License revocation (3 years).
  • Fines up to $3,000.
  • Mandatory ignition interlock device (IID).
  • Longer DUI education programs.
• Felony DUI (Fourth Offense or DUI with Injury):
  • License revocation (4+ years).
  • Up to $5,000 in fines.
  • State prison sentence (up to 3 years).

How We Fight DUI Charges

At Eric D. Davis, Attorney at Law, APC, we use strategic defenses to fight DUI charges, including:

• Illegal Traffic Stop – If law enforcement lacked probable cause, the DUI arrest could be invalid.
• Inaccurate Breathalyzer or Blood Test – Testing devices can malfunction, leading to false BAC readings.
• Field Sobriety Test Errors – Sobriety tests are subjective and unreliable in many cases.
• Medical Conditions or Diet – Certain medical issues or diets can affect BAC results, leading to wrongful charges.
• Violation of Your Rights – If officers failed to follow proper procedures, evidence could be thrown out.
