7. Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel: Alcoholism and DUI Defense While alcoholism alone is not a defense to a DUI, taking the initiative to admit a problem and seek treatment can help to minimize the penalties associated with your DUI charge. There are a number of approved recovery programs that the court may take into account when sentencing you. Our attorneys can help you explore all of your options and alternatives when seeking alcohol rehabilitation. There are in-patient options that allow you to receive treatment during a 30-day program. Sometimes, the time served in a recovery program instead can be credited against jail time. In addition to seeking in-patient care or a therapeutic housing unit or sober living environment (work at your job during the day and return to program housing at night), you can begin to attend AA meetings or night classes. This will demonstrate to the court that you are taking a vested interest in your own recovery and your situation.
8. Mueller, Thomas: Driving under the influence is a serious crime and should not be taken lightly. When it comes to fighting DUI charges in court, having a knowledgeable DUI attorney on your side can make all the difference. An experienced DUI lawyer will protect your rights, investigate the circumstances of your arrest, and inform you of your legal options at all stages of your case. A qualified attorney is necessary to provide the quality defense you need to effectively fight your DUI charges.
9. Rickard, Stephanie: Driving under the influence may result in several different charges being filed. Unless someone is injured or has prior convictions, the charges are generally filed as a misdemeanor. The following two charges are common: It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle. VC 23152(a) It is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle. VC 23152(b) If you were in an accident and someone was injured, you may be charged with a much more serious offense, either as a misdemeanor or felony. (a) It is unlawful for any person, while under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle and concurrently do any act forbidden by law, or neglect any duty imposed by law in driving the vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to any person other than the driver. (b) It is unlawful for any person, while having 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle and concurrently do any act forbidden by law, or neglect any duty imposed by law in driving the vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes bodily injury to any person other than the driver.
10. Maureen Baldwin: California has two separate procedures for DUI cases. You can have your court case dismissed or never filed on by the prosecutor and still have a separate battle with the DMV to keep your driversŐ license. When someone is arrested for driving under the influence, their license automatically gets suspended in 30 days time unless you request a DMV hearing within 10 days of the arrest.   DUI cases are not popular cases to try to a jury because so many people know someone injured by some combination of alcohol and automobiles. In addition, the blood and breath testing make it hard to rebut the presumption that a person is under the influence if there is .08% alcohol in their blood. Generally a case will not be filed if the results show less than that amount.
11. Nan Bucknell: Getting charged with a DUI was never supposed to happen to you. You just aren't the irresponsible type who drinks too much, then puts others in danger by getting behind the wheel. Most first-time DUI offenders don't understand the charges against them, because they simply didn't know they were over the .08% BAC (blood alcohol content) limit under California law. Now that you have been charged, how do you protect your rights and your driving privileges? Keeping your good record clear of a conviction is a serious concern.
12. Steven Kim:

    If You Want To Avoid A Drunk Driving Conviction, Don't Drive Drunk
    Obviously, if you want to avoid a drunk driving conviction, don't drink or use drugs before operating an automobile. Of course, sometimes you won't be able to avoid mixing drinking and driving. You still have many options. Obviously, a designated driver is a great way to go. But if you happen to be with a group where even your designated driver has had a few drinks, you still have options. First, consider public transportation or a cab. No matter what it costs you to get a ride back home and then return the next day for your car, it'll cost you a lot less than a fine, a suspended driver's license, and a possible jail sentence. If you need a reminder about the serious consequences you'll face if you're convicted of drunk driving, you can read about DUI penalties or the DUI laws in your state.

    In addition, there are a number of companies springing up throughout the country that specifically cater to individuals who need a ride home. One company uses individuals dressed up in chauffeurs' uniforms on scooters who will drive to your location if you can't drive home, fold up their scooter and put it in your trunk, and then drive you home in your own car. Again, this is not cheap, but would rather have a criminal conviction on your record?

    If you absolutely can't avoid driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (and we are certainly not advising you to do so), you obviously have to be extra cautious, obey all traffic laws, make sure all of your lights are on (if required), and that your car is operating properly. If you don't follow these precautions, you'll give the police reasonable cause to pull you over and test you for DUI.
