DUI Lawyer: Benefits And Possibilities

Driving your car around right after you drunk alcohol is a very bad idea indeed. However, you are not only putting your own life in danger, but posing an actual threat to people around you. To other drivers, their passengers, even the pedestrians. Still, sadly, too many people make that mistake and in some cases it results in tragedies.

With that said, it is no wonder that the law enforcement authorities are unforgiving when it comes to Los Angeles DUI offenses. The legal penalties are become harsher every year and the LAPD is doing their best to apprehend the DUI offenders.

Hence, the legal consequences of driving under the influence are genuinely severe. First of all, we are talking about a real possibility of losing your driver’s license. The arresting officer will take it from you right on the spot. Of course, you will be given a temporary permit that will allow you to drive the vehicle for 30 more days, but if you want to keep the license, you will need to initiate an administrative DMV hearing within 10 days after the arrest.

In addition, if you are going to be found guilty, you will end up paying a fortune in fines and court fees. Furthermore, you may be sentenced to community service and you will need to perform community service. You may be required to attend DUI awareness classes and you will have to pay for it yourself. Moreover, you will need to buy a new insurance – the SR 22 type that is specifically designed for high risk drivers. This type of insurance will cost you nearly three times as much as the usual one. Do not forget that you may also be sentenced jail time, depending on the circumstances of the crime.

One way or the other, if you or your loved ones were charged with DUI, it is very important not to lose any time and to get in touch with a qualified as well as genuinely experienced Los Angeles DUI lawyer at the earliest opportunity.

After all, only a skillful as well as knowledgeable Los Angeles DUI lawyer will have the skills and the expertise to help you. We, at Eisner Gorin LLP, will assess all the available evidence in order to determine if the police had reasons to pull you over in the first place.

Here is Why You Should Approach Your DUI Case With a Skilled Los Angeles DUI Attorney

No matter how you may look at it, driving under the influence of alcohol (or illegal substances for that matter) is the worst idea ever. Needless to say, you will be posing an actual threat to your passengers, other drivers, their passengers as well as the pedestrians. Sadly, the official statistical data clearly indicates that more and more people these days are injured or even killed in the Los Angeles DUI accidents.

With that said, law enforcement authorities are mostly unforgiving when it comes to driving under the influence. The Los Angeles DUI laws are only becoming more severe every day. Hence, in case you or your loved ones were charged with DUI in Los Angeles, it is important to know what kind of legal consequences may be waiting for you. First of all, the arresting officer is going to take the driver’s license from you. Instead, you will be provided with a special paper, which will allow you to drive your car for 30 more days. Afterwards, the license can be suspended for a while. However, you have the right to fight against this decision. In order to do that, you will need to initiate an administrative DMV hearing. Do not forget that you can only initiate DMV hearing within 10 days after the arrest. 

Furthermore, you will need to pay expensive fines from your pocket. Do not forget that some courts will want you to perform community service and this means hundreds of hours of unpaid labor. Obligatory DUI awareness classes may also be given to you. You will need to buy a special kind of vehicle insurance, the SR22, the one that is meant for high-risk drivers and it will cost you nearly three times as much as the standard one. In some cases, you will be required to acquire an ignition interlock device that will prevent you from starting the vehicle if you are under the influence of alcohol. Finally, jail time may also be part of the sentence.

The above-mentioned reasons should be enough for you to consider hiring a qualified as well as genuinely experience Los Angeles DUI attorney, who will be capable of representing you in court. Because only a good DUI lawyer will be able to go through all the evidence and the entire case file in order to figure out how to help you. Most of the time, we are able to settle cases before trial. For example, we will investigate if your rights were not abused during the arrest – the law enforcement officers need to have a probable cause to pull you over. And if they did not – there is no case to begin with. In addition, the BAC test results may be inaccurate or the witness statements unclear. This is why only a professional Los Angeles DUI attorney such as former deputy district attorney Dmitry Gorin, will be able to aggressively approach the prosecutor and reduce or dismiss your DUI charges completely.
