DUI-DWI Defense

The lawyers at Cron, Israels & Stark understand that individuals and families confronting drunk driving charges in California are probably feeling angry, confused, and frightened about what has happened. Those feelings are natural because the consequences of a drunk driving conviction in California are serious. Potential sanctions include:

• Alcohol highway safety school
• Arrest and alcohol treatment costs
• Cancellation of insurance
• Community service
• Criminal record
• Fines and forfeitures
• Increased insurance rates
• Jail time
• Job loss
• Prison sentence
• Probation
• Suspension or loss of driver's license
• Vehicle forfeiture or loss

While the DUI-DWI arrest results in criminal charges and potential penalties listed above, most drivers do not realize that a drunk driving arrest also initiates a civil proceeding against their driving privileges, which is commonly referred to as a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) license suspension. A DMV license suspension is initiated against an arrested driver when he or she either refuses to submit to breath or blood testing, or fails a breath or blood test.
