There were 180,2012 total DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs) arrests in California in 2012 http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/about/profile/rd/r_d_report/Section_5/S5-243.pdf. Are you part of that statistic, or will you be in the future? Here’s what you should know.
Most DUI results result in misdemeanor convictions. In 2011, 4,655 DUI arrests resulted in a felony conviction, whereas 17,5557 resulted in misdemeanor convictions. Having the right DUI criminal defense attorney can make the difference between a felony or misdemeanor conviction. Don’t take a chance—work with expert DUI defense attorney Dan Chambers.
Especially if you live in Los Angeles County, where 22.3% of all 2011 California DUI arrests were made, you don’t want to risk giving your case to some shmuck who doesn’t know what to do. Dan Chambers has over 20 years of experience defending those who have been arrested for a DUI. He is the legal expert you want fighting for you in court.
Did you know that in California, DUI convictions remain on your driving record for 10 years?! That is an incredibly long period of time. Attorney Dan Chambers will pull out all the stops to give you the most favorable outcome, whether that’s lessening your prison sentence, decreasing your fines, or wiping your record clean entirely.
Many people unwittingly drive without realizing that they are impaired. According to DrivingLaws.org (http://dui.drivinglaws.org/drink-table.php), depending on your weight, you could be driving impaired after only a couple drinks. The blood alcohol level in California is .08%, so especially if you’re petite or thin, you might be unintentionally risking a felony conviction if you simply drive yourself home.
In 2011, the median DUI arrestee’s age was only 30. Lots of young people who are still in college don’t know their safe drinking limits until they’re faced with enormous consequences. No one wants to have to go through or see a loved one go through such a nightmare scenario—but if it’s happening, you know who to call.
Median adjudication time lags were 87 days from DUI arrest to conviction in 2011 (http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/about/profile/rd/r_d_report/Section_5/S5-243.pdf). Those 87 days can be the difference between a felony or misdemeanor conviction, the difference between being home for Christmas or in prison, or the difference between having to pay exorbitant fines or having enough money to have a wonderful holiday season.
