What A DUI Could Cost You In California
You might think the most stressful part of a DUI arrest is the moment the police take you into custody, and while this can be incredibly stressful for you and any loved ones with you, the worst is yet to come.
Unfortunately, in California, being convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is likely to have repercussions across the rest of your life, from your education to your career prospects and even your family life.
The actual legal penalties, such as a fine, or even jail time, will pale in comparison with the far-reaching consequences of the conviction. From stripping you of your ability to drive (and, in turn, commute and take care of your family) to jeopardizing other professional licenses and promotion opportunities, DUI convictions will drown you in stress from a dozen different sources.
This is why it is so important for you to work with a DUI defense lawyer like John Abel, who will keep that conviction off your record and limit those stressful consequences as much as possible.

What Can Be Done About A DUI Charge In California?
While the police officers who arrested you and the prosecutor who charged you may be quick to point out that a simple guilty admission will move the process along and might even get you out of some of the consequences, they are unlikely to tell you about other options, which might prove much more effective.
Defense strategies for DUI cases range from calling into question the police stop in the first place to getting specific evidence like test results thrown out for incorrect procedures. There is almost always something a clever and tenacious defense attorney can do for your DUI case.
Even when there is no sound defense, there is usually a path toward a less severe outcome you might not be aware of without an attorney: whether that means pleading out for a lesser charge without the same penalties or pursuing an alternative sentencing program that will remove a conviction from your record.
Therefore it is vital that, no matter what the police or prosecutor tell you, you contact an attorney immediately during or after your arrest.
