California DUI Penalties

If you are a resident of California and have recently been arrested for a DUI, you need to quickly familiarize yourself with the possible DUI penalties that you may be subjected to.

Although each DUI arrest is unique there are the minimum penalties and punishments that you can expect if you are convicted of your charge. However, if your arrest involves "aggravating" factors then the punishments can increase significantly. These include, but are not limited to: driving on a suspended or restricted license, accidents, a child in the car (under 14) or being found with a high blood alcohol content (over 0.20).

Whether you face a non-enhanced DUI conviction or a more complicated charge, you need to contact a qualified criminal law attorney now to start reviewing your case. Although the state of California takes drunk driving very seriously, it is possible to reduce your charges or even have them dropped with the help of a DUI attorney.
