Surviving a DUI in Los Angeles
Yes, you can survive a DUI in Los Angeles. Surviving a DUI in Los Angeles means that you’ve been arrested for DUI and have either had your DUI case dismissed through the court system, and either won your California DMV hearing, or had no license consequences with the DMV.
Los Angeles as a City, and as a County, is famous for being car friendly, part of car culture, and an area with poor public transportation, which is both why so many DUIs occur in Los Angeles, and why having a DUI is so difficult.
A Los Angeles DUI carries all of the punishments below:
DRUNK DRIVING: FIRST TIME OFFENSE: VEHICLE CODE § 23152
IF NO PROBATION IS IMPOSED BY THE COURT: VEHICLE CODE § 23536.
JAIL: Punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 96 hours, at least 48 hours of which shall be continuous, nor more than six months in the county jail.
FINE: Fine of not less than $390, nor more than $1,000.
TREATMENT: None required. However the DMV will not reinstate the person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle until proof of completion of a treatment program. Vehicle Code § 13352(a)(1).
DRIVERS LICENSE: The person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the department under Vehicle Code Section 13352 or Section 13352.1 for 6 months. The court shall require the person to surrender the driver’s license to the court.
RESTRICTED LICENSE: VEHICLE § 13352: The privilege may be reinstated once the person gives proof of financial responsibility and gives proof satisfactory to the department of successful completion of a driving-under-the-influence program or enrollment in such program. However the court pursuant to 23536(d) may disallow the issuance of a restricted driver’s License.

79 percent (38 incidents) of officer involved shootings involved a suspect being struck by gunfire, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
In eight percent of officer-involved shootings “the suspect attempted to, or did, disarm an officer,” according to the LAPD’s statement. In three out of four of those cases the suspect was also armed.

We do that by attending over 100 hours of coursework and training every year in DUI defense, in an effort to “sharpen the saw” and obtain the knowledge and experience to obtain results for clients.
Those results, which in turn come from the education and experience of doing exclusively DUI Defense, plus the excellent customer service our clients have raved about in verified reviews all over other sites, give us the incentive to do better, and give us a stream of personal referrals from people just like you.
