SERIOUS DUI DWI - THE PENALTIES

DMV DEFENSE - CRIMINAL DEFENSE


          

DWI DUI and the DMV - Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense in California. The penalties that come with a DUI conviction depend on many aspects of the case as well as whether this is your first or subsequent offense. Penalties may include:
  • Suspension or loss of driving privileges
  • Jail terms
  • Fines
  • Mandatory educational programs
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device in your car.
  • Drastic increases in insurance premium rates and issues in obtaining credit
          


Remember that criminal charges are only one aspect of a DUI. When you are pulled over on suspicion of DUI and have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent and above or refuse to take the test, the arresting officer will take away your license immediately and hand you a pink slip. This works as a formal notice of a possible license suspension. While the sheet allows you temporary driving privileges, you will need to ask for a DMV hearing within ten days following the arrest.  We can help
