Understanding DUI Charges in San Diego

The Complexity of DUI Charges

When you’re facing DUI charges, you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about the future. The legal system can be complex, and without expert guidance, you risk severe penalties that can impact your career, freedom, and reputation. Dealing with these charges alone or with an overworked public defender can leave you vulnerable to maximum penalties and long-lasting consequences.

Legal Consequences of DUI Charges

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious offense in California, and the legal consequences can be severe. In California, DUI laws are strict, and a conviction can lead to significant penalties, including:

  • Jail time: Up to six months for a first offense, with longer sentences for subsequent offenses.
  • Fines: Ranging from $390 to $1,000, not including court assessments and fees.
  • License suspension: A minimum of six months for a first offense.
  • DUI programs: Mandatory attendance at DUI education programs.
  • Increased insurance rates: Potentially doubling your insurance premiums.
  • Criminal record: A DUI conviction can remain on your record for ten years, affecting employment opportunities and professional licenses.

Charges Dropped
August, 21th 2024
When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty.
Not Guilty
July, 16th 2024
As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison.
