Understanding California DUI Charges & Penalties

In California, if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures .08 percent or higher as an adult, you can be charged with DUI.

  • If you are under 21, a BAC of .01 percent or more constitutes a DUI.
  • For those drivers whose BAC measures .15 or higher, you will face a charge of aggravated DUI with enhanced penalties.

The penalties for a DUI in Riverside County can be severe, including:

  • Up to 48 hours jail time (first offense)
  • Fines and assessments of up to $2,000 (first offense)
  • License suspension
  • Installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device at your own expense
  • Alcohol education program
  • Probation
  • Increased auto insurance premiums

Subsequent offenses within a 10-year period will involve steeper penalties.

Effective DUI Defense Strategies

While all this may sound grim, DUI cases are defensible. Many aspects of a DUI arrest can be challenged using knowledge about the technical and scientific procedures surrounding breath tests, blood tests for prescription medicines and other drugs, and field sobriety tests. At John Pozza Attorney at Law, PLC, we have extensive experience in deconstructing all these factors in search of flaws, errors, and discrepancies.

    "With any luck I’ll never need his help again but I certainly recommend him if you do."
    I was referred to John from another attorney regarding a misdemeanor charge I received from the Menifee Police Department. I thought it was bogus as I’m sure all of John’s clients would say and after meeting with him he felt he could help. John and Tammy got in touch with the DA’s office and were able to have the charge dismissed and save me a trip to court. They were both great to deal with and have a sense of humor too. John was very fair with his fee as well . With any luck I’ll never need his help again but I certainly recommend him if you do.
