In California consequences ramp up significantly when you are dealing with a second or subsequent DUI allegation within 10 years (of the first DUI). Because of the steep statutory consequences, and the zeal prosecutors often bring in response to public pressure from organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, it’s critical to approach these cases carefully.

Sometimes bad driving, poor performance on field sobriety tests, or a chemical result is taken out of context, and the best strategy is to directly challenge and fight the case— we have a lot of experience going to trial, and winning.

Other cases, once investigated, don’t offer the same potential; in those scenarios our DUI attorneys utilize community partnerships and resource connections to create alternatives to incarceration that allow our clients to continue working and living their life.
