California Drunk Driving Defense


Drunk driving is one criminal charge you need to fight aggressively right from the start. Even if it is your first DUI, you need to do everything you can to avoid a conviction. A DUI conviction is unlike many other criminal convictions:

  • It may stay on your record forever

  • For every conviction on your record, the penalties you face increase substantially

  • A DUI will increase your insurance premiums

  • A DUI can hurt your chances for employment, especially if you need to drive for work

Do not wait to get legal help. There are a number of defense options to fight your DUI but your lawyer needs time to prepare your defense. Santa Barbara DUI lawyer Steven Andrade will review the evidence in your case and advise you what strategy is likely to work best for your case. He is a strong advocate in the courtroom.

California laws lowering the legal definition of DUI impairment to 0.08% BAC and requiring the immediate license suspension of persons violating that law have proven to be effective in reducing the incidence of alcohol-involved accidents, according to a recent California Department of Motor Vehicles' Research and Development Branch publication.
