In California, a BAC of 0.08% or higher is considered legally impaired. If your BAC was significantly higher—especially 0.15% or more—prosecutors may push for harsher penalties including longer DUI classes, heftier fines, and possible jail time.
High BAC cases are challenging, but they are not hopeless. Breathalyzers must be properly calibrated and operated, and certain medical conditions can create false high readings. Attorney Adam Arant has successfully fought high BAC DUI charges, even reducing them to lesser offenses such as "wet and reckless," saving clients from long-term consequences.
