Helping You Avoid Jail, Keep Your Driver's License
The .08 blood-alcohol content number used in drunk driving cases doesn't relate to drug-related DUI charges. The test in drug DUI cases is whether you were operating the vehicle with the same care and caution that a sober person of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same or similar circumstances. In other words, the question is "was your ability to drive impaired?"
This is a fairly low burden of proof for the prosecution.
Fortunately, our lawyers know how to challenge the state's claims and will work hard to keep you out of jail and minimize the consequences of your arrest. This means pursuing every possible option to devise legal strategies that protect your rights from start to finish — in administrative license suspension hearings, in plea discussions and in the courtroom. This level of dedication has consistently produced outstanding results and has won our firm the thanks of many former clients and the respect of our peers in California's legal communities.
