California DUI Cases

In California, strict laws have been enacted governing drunk driving and driving while under the influence of drugs. A blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher constitutes an alcohol-related DUI. Driving while under the influence of any type of drug, whether an illegal narcotic or a prescription medication, can also result in a DUI. Law enforcement officers have the right to pull anyone over if they suspect a DUI based on erratic driving behavior such as weaving between lanes or other indications.

After being pulled over, you will generally be given field sobriety tests followed by a chemical test. If any of these tests or a Preliminary Alcohol Screening Test indicates that your BAC has exceeded the limit, you will be arrested. Your license will be confiscated and you will be issued a temporary one. You will then have 10 days to request a DMV hearing to challenge the license suspension. Our Fremont DUI lawyer can accompany you to the hearing to help prevent the loss of your driving privileges. Following this, you must appear in court and plead your case.
