California DUI Cases

In California, driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense which carries penalties of jail time, heavy fines, vehicle impoundment, driver's license suspension, probation, community service, DUI school, and drug and alcohol counseling or treatment. Even a first-time offender may face up to 6 months in jail, $1000 fines, and loss of driving privileges for up to 6 months. In addition, the court may require that an ignition interlock device be installed in your vehicle, which is similar to a breathalyzer. Most DUI convictions will also result in an increase in auto insurance premiums or even a cancellation.

If you are a repeat DUI offender, you face harsher penalties, including 2 and 3-year license suspensions. You will have 10 days from the date of your DUI arrest to request a hearing with the DMV regarding your license suspension. That is why it is critical that you consult with a Torrance DUI defense lawyer at our firm immediately so that we can ensure that your DMV hearing is scheduled appropriately. Your attorney will defend you at the hearing in an effort to help you retain your license.
