1. Hanson, Gorian & Bradford: Understanding DUIs A DUI (driving under the influence), is the act of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. As this is a criminal offense, DUIs are taken very seriously and courts in Riverside often impose harsh punishments. Having one or multiple DUIs on your permanent record is liable to affect many areas of your future, legally and personally. If you have been charged with a DUI, reaching out to a Riverside criminal defense attorney is highly advised. When a driver is suspected of driving under the influence, it is a police officer's right to conduct a traffic stop to question the driver. Common indications pointing to a DUI include ignoring traffic signs, swerving into wrong lanes, speeding, reckless driving, or making wrong turns. During a traffic stop, law enforcement will look for signs of intoxication such as slurred speech, scent of alcohol on the driver's breath, open containers, or bloodshot eyes. If a driver demonstrates any proof of being intoxicated, he or she will be subject to a field sobriety test to better gauge the severity of intoxication. The driver may be required to take a Breathalyzer test, or submit to a blood or urine test at the local police station. In the state of California, a driver is officially driving under the influence if his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC) has reached 0.08% or higher. If you are convicted of a DUI, there are heavy consequences; offenders are subject to hefty monetary fines, license suspension, probation, community service, ignition interlock devices, court ordered alcohol and drug treatment, and in some severe cases, imprisonment.

5. Kish, Charles: If you have been arrested for a DUI you must call the DMV within 10 days and request a hearing or your driver’s license will be suspended. It is a crime in California to drive with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. Anyone arrested for driving under the influence must submit to a chemical test. A refusal to take the test or even a failure to complete the test could result in a one-year driver’s license suspension. If you have prior convictions the penalties are even more severe. Not Guilty of a DUI While driving under the influence is a serious problem in our society, sometimes people are charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol who are not guilty, or where the district attorney does not have enough evidence to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. There are many issues an experienced attorney can raise: * Did the police have probable cause to stop you? * Were you actually driving the car? * Were you properly tested? * Was your blood alcohol level .08 or greater at the time of driving? Even if you are guilty, many times I can negotiate reduced sentences or other alternative sentences. I have successfully represented people who are facing their third, fourth or even fifth DUI’s.

7. Featherstone, Don: A DUI arrest is more than just a traffic violation. Even a first-time arrest for DUI can have very serious consequences, including a fine, suspension of your driver's license, and possible jail time. The potential penalties for a second or third offense are even more severe. Whether your first arrest or your fourth, you need the most effective DUI defense possible to protect your rights and preserve your freedom.
8. Nic Cocis: Chances are, you have never been charged with a crime before. Whether you have been charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, you now face a process that carries with it the possibility of real and permanent consequences. Criminal defendants often do not know how serious their own situation is. You should know that whatever the charge is, it is serious and needs to be addressed. A conviction for even a “minor” charge can lead to jail time, fines, or both. And your conviction will become part of a criminal record that can cost you employment and financial opportunities in future. Now, as never before, you need to fight to protect your rights, and you need a skilled criminal defense attorney who will stand up for you.
9. Jefffrey Zimel: The prosecutor must convince the judge or jury hearing the case that the defendant is guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." This standard is very hard to meet. (By contrast, in non-criminal cases, such as an accident or breach of contract, a plaintiff has to prove her case only by a preponderance of the evidence -- just over 50%.) As a practical matter, the high burden of proof in criminal cases means that judges and jurors are supposed to resolve all doubts about the meaning of the evidence in favor of the defendant. With such a high standard imposed on the prosecutor, a defendant's most common defense is often to argue that there is reasonable doubt-that is, that the prosecutor hasn't done a sufficient job of proving that the defendant is guilty.
10. Gorian & Kish: See to it that your rights are protected.
