Pasadena DUI Defense Attorneys

Assisting Clients in the Pasadena, California Area

In the state of California, driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense which requires the immediate attention of a criminal defense attorney. Such an offense can lead to harsh penalties if you are convicted of this crime, especially if there is property damage or injury to other individuals involved.

As former senior prosecutors, our attorneys have experience on both sides of the law and are extremely adept at defending DUI cases. Working with a DUI defense lawyer at our firm, you will benefit from the experience, knowledge, and commitment we can offer.

A DUI conviction may result in jail time, heavy fines, vehicle impoundment, driver's license suspension, probation, community service, DUI school, and drug or alcohol counseling or treatment.  A first conviction may result in 6 months of jail time, up to $1000 in fines, and a license suspension of up to 6 months. An ignition interlock device may be ordered as well, which is similar to a breathalyzer. Second and third offenses result in harsher penalties, include 2 and 3-year license suspensions.
