Facing prosecution for drunk driving charges is always stressful, but it is especially frightening the first time you are arrested. No matter the circumstances, you must retain the representation of a skilled lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your rights and interests are protected. Our team is dedicated to providing powerful defense for drivers facing DUI charges, and we will advocate for your freedoms before the criminal courts and at your DMV hearing.
A person will be arrested and charged with DUI if they are found to have a BAC of .08% or higher, unless they are under the age of 21. Due to California’s Zero Tolerance law, underage drivers will be charged with intoxicated driving if they are operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .01% or greater. The arresting officer will ask the driver to submit to a chemical test or field sobriety test to determine their level of intoxication. If they believe the results prove that the individual is drunk, they will be charged with DUI.
To discuss your case and legal options with a member of our team, call Law Offices of Grech, Packer & Hanks at (951) 682-9311 today.
