San Diego University Substance Abuse Center:
The
primary mission of the Center on Substance Abuse (CSA) Driving Under
the Influence Program (DUIP) is to help reduce the incidence and
prevalence of driving under the influence and the negative consequences
of this behavior for our community and its residents, and to assist
participants in identifying and seeking solutions to their own alcohol
and other drug problems.
In
order to accomplish this mission, we are committed to providing, under
the guidelines established by the State of California and the County of
San Diego, the highest quality of educational and counseling services
to those who have been convicted of violating the DUI laws.
The San Diego State University CSA DUI Program operates under California license, (#3700501120). The Official licensee is the SDSU Foundation
a California non-profit organization under Chapter 501(3)c of the IRS
Code. However, the program is administered by the University College of
Health & Human Services, School of Social Work through the CSA.
Since its designated area of services by the courts is the San Diego
court district, it is referred to as the "Central District DUIP".
Specific operations are in accordance with the California Health and
Safety Code (H&S C) statute, Chapter 9, Section 11836 through
Section 11838.5. This statute is implemented via regulations adopted by
the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP), specified
in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 9, Section 9795
through Section 9886.

- Kraffert & Shaffer: Non-injury drunk
driving is usually referred to as misdemeanor drunk driving. Drunk
driving which results in an injury is referred to as felony drunk
driving, although it can also be charged as a misdemeanor. A person
will be convicted of non-injury misdemeanor drunk driving if he or she
has operated or otherwise used, a vehicle, in a covered location, while
under the influence of an intoxicant, without having caused injury to
another. Drunk Driving which results in an injury is a felony. Even
slight injury may be sufficient evidence to constitute felony drunk
driving. If death occurs as a result of driving while under the
influence of an intoxicant, a person may be charged with vehicular
manslaughter while intoxicated or gross vehicular manslaughter while
intoxicated.

What you need to know about San Diego Drunk Driving Charges.
A LAPSE IN JUDGMENT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CRIMINAL,
but you wouldn’t know it from the way the system treats people accused of driving under the influence (DUI). The system has become so intolerant that it employs tricks and hurdles to ensure that those accused are punished, without regard to Due Process, without regard to the presumption of innocence and without regard to the truth and accuracy of the accusations. For example, some deadlines are triggered by an arrest, not an actual conviction, and missing a deadline can forfeit some of your rights. These days, DUI law is a minefield for the unwary, and a lawyer experienced in DUI / DWI defense cases is necessary to guide you through the process.
- Christopher Monelt:
Never assume the police have done everything correctly.
The
police may have many steps and procedures that need to be followed in
order for a DUI to stick. Knowing these and knowing whether they
followed procedure is a definite boon in determining if you are in fact
guilty.

- Thomas Matthews:
The Sixth Amendment guarantees that all criminal defendants "shall
enjoy the right...to have the assistance of counsel." The U.S. Supreme
Court has interpreted the Sixth Amendment right to counsel to mean that
a defendant must be represented by counsel during any "critical stage
in a criminal proceeding.
- Mr. DUI: A DUI is a criminal offense. If convicted, it may stay on your record for life.
- William Mueller:
Because drunk driving laws are complex, you need a DUI lawyer who knows
when the judicial procedure used in your case is unconstitutional and
violates your rights as a motorist. You need a drunk driving defense
attorney who is well versed with the different sobriety tests and their
varying accuracy levels.
- Michael Owens: Beware of DUI attorneys
who will show you a video and make unrealistic promises. Others will
guarantee you a low price and later throw you to the mercy of the court.
