DUI Results

Our client was charged with drunk driving. The odds were stacked against him from the beginning on account of prior DUI convictions, high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and a collision with vehicles. Our Riverside County DUI defense attorneys sprung into action and argued for a dismissal or reduction. Prosecution AGREED to a dismissal of the DWI count and no-incarceration plea to the “b” count. Due to our results-driven work, our Riverside Hall of Justice drunk driving defense attorneys prevented any jail time for our client.

Our client, a young man who relies on his vehicle transportation for his job, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, a violation of California vehicle code section 23152 (a) and driving with a .08 percentage of blood alcohol concentration, in violation of California vehicle code section 23152(b). Our West Covina courthouse drunk driving defense attorneys swung into action early and aggressively. As a result of our efforts, the West Covina district attorney rejected the filing of any case against our client. Simply put, we procured the total dismissal of his case. No plea deal. Just straight up dismissal.

Our client, a restauranteur, picked up a DUI, violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152. Our Covina driver safety DUI DMV hearing attorneys Intervened early on in the case and convinced the DMV to set aside any license suspension action against our client. Sure enough, we prevailed and our client’s license remains intact, allowing him to drive with no problems.

Our client, a young man, could have faced potential jail time, significant fines and fees, probation, and a minimum of TEN YEARS of raised insurance premiums...had he not made the astute decision of HIRING the Award-Winning DUI Defense Law Firm, Coimbra Law Firm. Due to our diligent efforts VERY early on in the case, our DUI defense lawyer persuaded the prosecutor to THROW OUT the DUI charge in favor of a reduced wet reckless count. The young man, who works in construction, was given NO JAIL TIME, and, instead, must only fulfill some reasonable court obligations and summary probation. The resolution did NOT result in a suspension his license, which would have occurred had he been convicted of the original charges of violating Vehicle Code sections 23152(A), driving under the influence, and 23152(B), driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 % or more.

Our client, a young woman who is gainfully employed and is very productive, came to our office after a dismaying event in her life occurred: she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (a violation of California vehicle code section 23152(a) CVC). She was also arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance (a violation of California Health & Safety Code Section 11350 H&S). A conviction at trial (or otherwise a poorly-handled pre-trial resolution) could have resulted in, not only in potentially significant jail time, but, also, virtually-certain deportation from the United States on account that our client is a DACA recipient. Understanding the potential severity and gravity of the criminal charges against her, our West Covina DUI attorneys, West Covina drug charges defense attorneys sprung into action, carefully reviewing the evidence against our client and challenging whether the evidence was properly collected on account of possible constitutional violations of our client’s rights. We further argued that, on account of our client’s lack of criminal sophistication, i.e., no identifiable criminal record, in addition to her valuable contributions to society as a working and productive young woman, the case should be dismissed. Sure enough, on account of our efforts, the prosecutor agreed to a dismissal of both accounts in exchange for a less severe misdemeanor California vehicle code section violation. Moreover, the prosecutor agreed not to pursue jail time. To that end, our client came away from the case unscathed, with the plea resolution optimized to protect her otherwise precarious immigration status. In other words, case (as originally charged) dismissed!

Our client, a member of the police department, was arrested for suspected driving while intoxicated in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a). The circumstances of his arrest included altercation with fellow police officers and the prosecutor had ample opportunity to file battery on a police office (a violation of California Penal Code 243(b) and 243(c)). At minimum, the prosecutor could have filed resisting arrest, a violation of California Penal Code 148(a)(1). However, due to our early and aggressive intervention, the prosecutor never filed any such charges though it would have had good reason to do so. They also dismissed the DWI count. Matter resolved for lesser plea. Client served absolutely no jail time on account of this resolution. Another successful result.

Our client is a young man with a career that requires his ability to freely operate his vehicle. He was arrested for DUI and, worried about his freedom and his future, contacted our West Covina drunk driving defense attorneys. Our West Covina DUI defense lawyers swept into action. We notified the Department of Motor Vehicles in writing to place to stay on any suspension of our client's license and began amassing materials for our client’s defense. Owing to our swift and early intervention, the DMV placed a SET ASIDE of any suspension of our client’s driver license. Our client gets to keep his license free of any suspension.

A young man with a career in banking, who also seeks to go to law school someday, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in violation of California Vehicle Code 23152a and Driving with .08 BAC or higher, in violation of California Vehicle Code 23152b. Our Van Nuys courthouse DUI defense attorneys swept into action and challenged the field sobriety test, the officer's statement and the forensic evidence the prosecutor had amassed against him. Through diligent defense work and negotiating skill, our DUI defense attorneys achieved a DISMISSAL of his DUI charge. Matter resolved for a lesser plea and client served no jail time and his driving record was not besmirched by any DUI conviction.

Our client, an EMT technician, was arrested for having driven under the influence. It was later determined that his blood alcohol content was .20, which is over double the legal limit, almost 3 times the legal limit, in fact. Our West Covina high BAC DUI defense attorneys amassed bargaining power against the government, discovering the vast inconsistencies in the police officer’s report that called into question our client’s guilt. What, at first hand, appeared to be a case that would resolve with extensive county jail time because of the extremely high blood alcohol content, ended up resolving in a dismissal of count one, driving while under the influence of alcohol, and a non-jail time resolution of the rest with greatly-reduced terms. Our client is tremendously satisfied and grateful for our hard work, which we are happy and honored to undertake on behalf of our clients.

Our client, a hard-working resident of the San Gabriel Valley, was arrested after he collided against a barrier. His blood alcohol concentration was four times the legal limit (i.e., .34 BAC). Worse yet, our client had been convicted (through different, previous counsel) of having violated Vehicle Code 23152 (DUI) back in 2016. When he came to our office, before he retained our services, our client told us about his fears that he would go to jail (given that the penalty for second DUI is up to one year in the county jail) and that he may have up take the 30-month alcohol program, which would interfere with his ability to make a livelihood given the time commitment. Our El Monte Courthouse Second DUI Attorneys went to work to prepare a powerful defense despite the damning evidence against the client. Having poured through the discovery, we identified a series of weaknesses, including but not limited to Title 17 violations that allowed us to question the admissibility or, at minimum, the credibility of the outrageously-high BAC results. Without the results, there would be virtually toxicological evidence the DA would’ve had to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt since they had no chemical test specimen. Our El Monte DUI with collision attorneys prepared and submitted to the DA a masterpiece of legal correspondence with abundant case law and statutory authority. Sure enough, as a result of our insistence that our client avoid the worst outcome, we successfully resolved the case so that our client did NOT have to take the 30-month alcohol program, did NOT have to attend HAM/MADD, got ZERO jail for the predicate offense (apart from 4 days for the prior, to be run concurrent with custody for the chemical test refusal so still 4 days [for which it's likely he would be essentially booked and released though we got him private custody as an option], and remaining standard terms. Our client is extraordinarily happy and grateful for our hard work despite the odds against him.

Our client was accused of having driven with .15 blood alcohol concentration (BAC), as well as having hit a parked vehicle and then fleeing the scene of the accident. Therefore, the prosecutor filed a criminal complaint alleging three criminal counts (driving while under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher and hit and run, violations of California vehicle code section 23152(a), 23152(b) and 20002(a), respectively). The court imposed six-figure bail...UNTIL our attorneys got involved. Our DUI and hit-and-run criminal charges defense attorneys sprung into action immediately, first with convincing the judge to reduce bail significantly. The judge granted the bail reduction, our client made bail and was released from custody. Then, we mobilized to have the charges dismissed. Facing a potential one year in the county jail, our client was in jeopardy of being incarcerated and losing his job. We convinced the prosecutor to drop any jail time at all. Additionally, the prosecutor threw out the hit and run allegation as well as driving under the influence of alcohol. Not a single day of jail time was imposed.

Our client was charged with a felony second offense DUI with hit and run out of the Pomona courthouse. On account of the very service charges levied against our client, Pomona deputy district attorney did not waver in seeking half-decade California state penitentiary in prison commitment against our client…until now. Pomona courthouse felony DUI defense attorneys have been uncovering severe weakness is in the governments case against our client, who stands to lose not only his freedom (through possible imprisonment in one of California’s very violent high security state penitentiaries) but also a lucrative career. We have made great strides in greatly reducing that possibility and look forward to continue seeking and obtaining the best possible available outcome for our client with minimal to no jail time.

A rare night on the town for a young working Mom could have led up to a year in jail, after she was suspected of driving while under the influence, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08%, and in possession of cocaine. But due to the diligent advocacy of Coimbra Law, APC, our attorneys reached an amicable agreement with the Pasadena City Prosecutor: Instead of jail, our client is serving a 3-year-term on probation for only a “wet reckless.” She was originally charged with violating Vehicle Code section 23152(a), Vehicle Code section 23152(b), and Health & Safety Code section 11350(a). A wet reckless is a reduced charge; it is for driving recklessly with alcohol involved. The drug charge against our client was dismissed. Our client was also sentenced to pay a $500 fine, plus assessment fees, and to attend an alcohol diversion program, among other conditions. The woman had been celebrating a friend’s birthday and decided to stay out later because she hardly ever had the time to socialize, given the demands of her home and work life. When she was stopped by Pasadena police, she had been up for 19 hours. Signs of sleep deprivation and fatigue easily mirror the symptoms of intoxication, our attorneys argued. She was also unaware that what was tossed into her purse was a controlled substance.

Our client, a nurse who received a DUI, was facing charges for both DUI and refusal to submit for BAC testing. Our attorneys worked arduously even before the arraignment by submitting mitigation materials to the DA prior to filing. Our attorneys were able to secure a deal which pleased the client, including having the refusal charge stricken. The client received credits toward her overall sentence, a reduced fine, and the minimum program required for a DUI conviction. In addition, the client was able to plead no contest, as opposed to guilty, for the reduced sentence.

Our client was charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol (in violation of California Vehicle Code 23152(a)) and driving with a blood alcohol concentration level over the legal limit (in violation of California Vehicle Code 23152(b)). In this case, our client was accused of having driven virtually three times the legal limit BAC (.23/.24). Our Pomona courthouse DUI lawyers sprung into action, submitting a detailed and comprehensive written legal argument and engaging in intensive negotiations with the prosecutor. The charge of violating California Vehicle Code 23152(a) was dismissed and matter was resolved without any jail time despite very high blood alcohol concentration

Our client, T.K., was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a .08 percent BAC or higher. Client is a professional with much to lose. On account of the unusually high blood alcohol concentration, prosecutor wanted extended alcohol program and also jail time. Due to our high level of drunk driving defense legal skill, we persuaded prosecutor to drop the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and to drop jail time as part of the resolution of the case.
