    1. David Sheehan: An unfortunately common offense, the general public chiefly identifies DUI by its serious life-altering consequences and subsequently identifies DUI offenders as the callous cause. Arguably, the general public is both unfair and uninformed with regard to individual cases, however the legal system, who is on the front lines of DUI cases, seems to share its sentiment. Without the proper DUI attorney, the DUI offender may face loss of driving privileges, vehicle impoundment, fines, house arrest and even jail time.

      An expertly prepared DUI attorney can be your legal advocate and guide through the DUI court system. An experienced DUI attorney knows culpable indicators courts look for as well as the evidence and arguments that will secure the court’s sympathy towards DUI offenders. If you’re facing a DUI offense, please consider the wisdom of securing the right DUI attorney to guide and protect you.

    1. Barry Sands: Teens are seen as high risk. They often drive too fast, have inexperience in dangerous situations, and see themselves as invincible. Teens (under the age of 21) do NOT fall under the same DUI laws as adults. The legal limit for alcohol in the State of California is a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.08. If you are under the age of 21, the legal limit for you in the State of California is 0.01. This means that even one drink will render you legally impaired! In the United States, there are 1.4 million arrests for DUI each year. There are 15,935 alcohol-related deaths each year. Teens (ages 15 to 20) make up 35% of all alcohol related deaths.

THE SOBERING FACTS Alcohol use is the number one drug problem among young people 60 percent of all teen deaths in car accidents are alcohol-related 305 people die in alcohol related accidents each week. One life lost every 33 minutes Eight young people a day die in alcohol-related crashes The number of young people who died in a crash where the young driver (ages 15-20) was intoxicated is 35% of total traffic fatalities. In single-vehicle fatal crashes occurring on weekend nights 57.7% of drivers under the age of 25 were intoxicated. A person with a blood alcohol content of over 0.15 is 380 times more likely to die in a single vehicle accident than a sober person. As a parent, I urge you to discuss this "Contract for Life" with your teen. Try to remember when you were a teen - try to remember how difficult it was to tell your parents that you had been drinking - try to remember the poor judgment you used because you were afraid of getting in to trouble. CONTRACT FOR LIFE Download this contract. Sign it and have your teens sign it. IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES! .And the lives of innocent victims. "Contract for Life", sponsored by SADD (Students against destructive decisions) is a document signed by parents and their children. The teens promise to call home if they or the person driving them has been drinking. In exchange, the parents promise to pick them up, no questions asked.

    1. Vida Law Group: The Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause guarantees every criminal defendant the right "to be confronted with the witnesses against him." Generally, this means that the accused has a constitutional right to cross-examine witnesses who make statements against him. In conjunction with this right, hearsay statements (out-of-court statements offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted) are generally inadmissible.

    1. Amer, Al: Have you been arrested for DUI in Orange County? Any DUI charge is serious. There are a variety of levels of DUI charges, and each type carries increasing penalties. A second or third DUI conviction is a real problem. If you have been arrested and charged with drunk driving, it is crucial that you contact an Orange County DUI attorney immediately. There are several parts to a DUI charge. The initial step is the traffic stop and the arrest. In most cases, law enforcement must have “probable cause” in order to pull you over. They may have observed what they consider to be reckless driving, speeding or erratic driving. This may also occur at a traffic stop that is looking for intoxicated drivers. If you have been pulled over under suspicion of DUI, you may have had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, either breathalyzer or possibly a BAC blood test. These tests are scientific, but in fact, there is no test that is 100% without error. It is possible that the test was wrongly administered, or that the testing equipment was faulty. Any and all possibilities must be fully explored by your defense lawyer. If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI in Orange County, it is critical that you get legal representation from a skilled DUI defense attorney without delay. Orange County law enforcement agencies have been given the task of getting every intoxicated driver off the road. The prosecutor, who carefully tracks their “conviction percentage”, is intent on your conviction, and law enforcement is there with their evidence to back up the case. When probation is imposed/sentence suspended, the actual jail time varies from case to case, courthouse to courthouse, court to court, etc. No jail DUIs are not uncommon in Los Angeles and Orange Counties if there are no "aggravating" factors. You should also make yourself aware of jail alternatives by speaking to an experienced DUI defense firm...
    2. Coreen Ferrentino: In California, police often make DUI/DWI arrests by following people out of bars and pulling them over-in many cases without a valid reason. If you are like many people, you probably didn't realize that police have to actually see some sort of vehicle or traffic violation before they can legally pull you over.
    3. Creighton Laz: In general, the less you weigh the more you will be affected by a given amount of alcohol. As detailed above, alcohol has a high affinity for water. Basically one's blood alcohol concentration is a function of the total amount of alcohol in one's system divided by total body water. So for two individuals with similar body compositions and different weights, the larger individual will achieve lower alcohol concentrations than the smaller one if ingesting the same amount of alcohol.

    1. Lyle Herrick: You can be arrested for DUI by driving while over the legal BAC in your state or while impaired. But, you need not actually operate the car in order to be arrested. You can still be found guilty if you had the capability and power to dominate, direct, or regulate the vehicle, regardless of whether you were exercising that capability or power at the time of the arrest. In other words, simply sitting behind the wheel with the keys in the ignition can lead to your arrest for DUI by being in "actual physical control" of the car.
