Santa Monica DUI Defense Attorney
Defense for DUI Charges in Santa Monica and the Greater Los Angeles Area
Anyone stopped in the greater Los Angeles area for DUI or drunk driving can expect an aggressive response from law enforcement officers. With drunk driving arrests on the rise, law enforcement has stepped up traffic stops and checkpoints, increasing your possibility of being arrested for a DUI. Because a DUI is treated as a criminal offense, it is crucial you have a strong Santa Monica DUI defense lawyer working on your behalf. A conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in California carries harsh
penalties, including a suspended license, possible jail time, fines and possibly even mandatory alcohol or drug treatment programs and community service. These can lead to more long term consequences for you or your loved one, such as difficulties in keeping your job or finding future employment, higher insurance rates and personal embarrassment and loss of respect from friends and family.
