What is a DUI in California?

Under California Vehicle Code ยง 23152, it is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You can be charged even if your blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) is under 0.08% if your driving is impaired.

Penalties for a First-Offense DUI

  • Up to 6 months in county jail
  • Fines from $390 to $1,000 + penalty assessments
  • License suspension (DMV Administrative Per Se action)
  • Mandatory DUI school (30โ€“90 hours depending on BAC)
  • Probation (3โ€“5 years)

Our One-Two Punch Defense Strategy

We handle BOTH the criminal DUI case in court (at the Larson Justice Center in Indio) AND the separate DMV Administrative Per Se hearing in San Bernardino or Palm Springs. This coordinated approach gives you the best chance to protect your freedom AND keep your driving privileges.
