The crime of Driving Under the Influence (Commonly referred to DUI) can carry serious penalties – Fines, mandatory education and treatment classes, loss of license, not to mention loss of your freedom by going to jail which could lead to a loss of your job and reputation.

California has strict DUI (driving under the influence) laws that are aggressively and vigorously enforced by the CHP (California Highway Patrol) and local law enforcement agencies like municipal police departments and county sheriff’s departments.
The typical DUI charges are found in the California Vehicle Code Sections:
Vehicle Code Section 23152 - is the standard DUI law, which states that it’s unlawful to drive while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both.
Vehicle Code Section 23152 - is the law that states that it’s illegal to drive with a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of .08% or more in your system.
Based on the circumstances and facts of the specific case, you can face a misdemeanor or felony charge for your DUI crime, and a conviction comes with a wide range of penalties.
Factors that can enhance DUI-related penalties include:
• Car Crash
• Injuries and/or Death
• Chemical test refusal
• Past DUI convictions
• Property damage
• BAC of 0.15% or higher
• Under 21
