Criminal Charges of Driving Under the Influence of Narcotics

A DUI involving illegal drugs presents a serious legal situation for the defendant. If you are facing such charges, it is vital you contact a Los Angeles DUI lawyer immediately. In such an instance, there are three separate legal processes which you will need to address. These are the DUI charge in the criminal court, the actions the DMV may take against you, and the criminal drug charge. Of course each will affect the others but each must also be addressed in and of itself.

Many of us formerly practiced as prosecutors, a factor which allows us invaluable insight into how they prosecution will approach your case.

As a breath test cannot be used to confirm the presence of drugs in one's system, a blood or urine test will be administered. As results are not instantaneous, the DMV will not instantly confiscate your license; a conviction is required for a license suspension to occur. If convicted, DUI penalties will be leveled on an enhanced basis due to the additional criminal charge. Our firm offers the service of attorneys who are highly trained in all aspects of DUI cases. We have the knowledge with which to question drug test results and may find they do not qualify to be used against you as evidence. If you are found guilty, we can propose consideration of certain circumstances in an effort to achieve lesser penalties for both the DUI and drug charges. We do not want to see your life upset by harsh penalties or even possible loss of your job due to drug charges. Our firm is large enough to be able to provide personalized service as well as the technical and administrative resources needed to competently defend you.
