Kinsey Seal Beach, CA (562) 596-8177 DUI - Drunk Driving Lawyer Since 1976 - Negotiation - - Settlement - - Trial - E-Mail Us Basic California Drunk Driving (DUI) Law - The California Vehicle Code: California has two basic drunk driving laws, found in Vehicle Code sections 23152(a) and 23152(b): 23152(a) It is a misdemeanor to drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. 23152(b) It is a misdemeanor to drive with .08% or more of alcohol in your blood. Note: In most cases, both the 23152(a) and (b) offenses will be charged. Even though there is only one act, the law says that a defendant charged with drinking and driving can be convicted of BOTH offenses — but can only be punished for one (the punishments are identical). Vehicle Code section 23153 sets forth the "felony DUI" provisions where an injury results from the drunk driving, while Penal Code sections 191.5 and 192 describe the crime of "vehicular manslaughter" where there is a death.

California Department Of Motor Vehicles Penalties: In most cases, the person arrested for drunk driving will have his driver's license confiscated by the officer if he (1) takes a breath test showing .08% blood-alcohol or higher, (2) gives a blood or urine sample which will be analyzed later, or (3) refuses to be tested. He will also be given a pink sheet of paper which serves as both a notice of suspension and a 30-day temporary license. (For out-of-state drivers, the license will not be seized and the suspension will only be of the privilege to drive within California.) It is critically important to CALL THE CALIFORNIA DMV WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE ARREST to request a hearing to contest the suspension; failure to do so will result in the suspension taking effect 30 days after the arrest. Requesting a hearing will also result in an extension of the 30-day temporary license, usually for another month or two depending upon when the hearing is held. Nothing is lost by requesting a hearing and a good DUI attorney has a fair chance of getting the suspension thrown out. The division of the DMV responsible for the "APS" suspension of licenses is the Drivers Safety Office (DSO), with branch offices located around the state. It is at these offices that the hearings will take place, presided over by a "hearing officer" — a DMV employee without legal training who will serve as both prosecutor and judge.

Procedural Overview For California Drunk Driving Cases: The DMV procedure (explained above) and the court procedure are two separate and distinct procedures. The court process consists basically of three hearings : The Arraignment This is your first court hearing. You'll be given the opportunity to plead "guilty" or "not guilty". It is raraly advisable to plead guilty at this stage of the proceedings. The second hearing - the "pretrial conference" is the time for you to negotiate the disposition of your case if a disposition is going to be possible. The Pre-Trial Conference This is a conference set usually 2 to 3 weeks after the arraignment to allow you and/or your attorney to negotiate a settlement of the case with the district attorney. If a negotiated disposition can be reached at this stage of the proceedings, you'll enter a plea or the matter will be dismissed. If there is no disposition, you'll be given a trial date. The Trial If no disposition of your case is reached at the Pre-Trial conference stage, your case will be set for jury trial. DUI trials typically take between 2 and 3 days. - Gene Kinsey Attorney Fees: $250 per hour against a $2,500 minimum fee to be paid in advance The Firm For Clients For Lawyers Free Stuff Law Library Legal Links Lawyer Jokes Home

DUII LAW By: Hugh Oregon Criminal Attorney Oregon's DUII Las Explained SEVEN THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OREGON'S DUII LAW By: Hugh Duvall INTRODUCTION Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants, or DUII, is perhaps the crime most frequently committed by the average person. It is also one of the most misunderstood. Only after a person is driving home after a few drinks with friends or associates and gets arrested does he or she come to understand just how dramatically a DUII charge can affect one's life. 1:THE LEGAL LIMIT–Not As Simple As .08% There are two ways a person is considered under the influence of intoxicants in Oregon. First, one is considered under the influence of intoxicants if his or her blood alcohol content is .08% or greater. However, there is a second way one is considered under the influence. A person is considered under the influence of intoxicants if any one of his or her mental or physical abilities is adversely affected by intoxicants to a perceptible degree, regardless of the person's blood alcohol content. A person can be guilty of DUII at a .07, .06 or even .05%! Oregon's law is very close to a zero tolerance standard. 2:TWO PROBLEMS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE Most DUII cases involve two governmental entities pursuing action against the accused: 1) The DMV; and 2) The prosecutor in court. If one blows a .08% or greater, DMV will seek a driver's license (Implied Consent) suspension of 90 days to one year, or if one refuses a breath or blood test, a one to three year suspension. This DMV action is completely separate from the action in court which can also result in a suspension. 3:THE FOUR POISON PILLS If a person is convicted of DUII, every court in Oregon must impose at least these four consequences: 1) Two days of jail or 80 hours of community service; 2) A $1,000 fine; 3) That one pay for and complete an alcohol treatment program; and 4) A one year driver's license suspension (a separate suspension from the DMV Implied Consent suspension mentioned above). 4:THE GOOD NEWS–Diversion A person charged with DUII may be eligible for Oregon's DUII diversion program. Generally, one qualifies if he or she has not had a DUII within the past ten years and the presently charged DUII did not involve an accident in which anyone but the person accused was injured. If the court allows one into the DUII diversion program, the court then places the criminal case in abeyance. If the person then pays for and completes an alcohol or drug treatment program, and stays out of similar trouble for one year, the court then dismisses the criminal case. So, the DUII diversion program is like doing one-fourth of the minimum penalty, while getting the case dismissed as a bonus. 5:THE BAD NEWS–Blackout Periods All DMV Implied Consent Suspensions have a period where absolutely no driving is allowed–not even with a hardship or occupational permit. The first time offender who blows .08% or above and is allowed into the DUII diversion program usually still faces a 90 day DMV suspension where no driving is allowed for the first 30 days. This can obviously throw the accused's life into turmoil. A first time offender who refuses a breath test usually faces a 90 day blackout period. Repeat offenders can face substantially longer blackout periods. 6:FELONY DUII–The New Horizon December 31, 1999 marked a noticeable change in Oregon's DUII law. Up until that time, the charge of DUII was always a class A misdemeanor, with a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. However, now a person with three or more prior DUII convictions within ten years of a new DUII arrest can be prosecuted for a class C felony. 7:THE BITTER TRUTH An urban myth has evolved that if someone charged with DUII has enough money, or the right attorney, then he or she can "beat" the charge. If any truth to this myth exists, it is not in Oregon. Oregon's DUII laws are some of the toughest in the country. Fighting a DUII charge is virtually always an uphill battle. The least someone can hope to face in court is a police officer willing to testify under oath that in his or her opinion the accused drove under the influence of intoxicants. Anyone knowledgeable about Oregon's DUII law thinks twice before drinking any amount of alcohol and then driving.
