Ramifications of a 2nd #DUI Arrest and How a this #Lawyer can Help

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:




DUI ConvictionA DUI conviction can have severe consequences though it is certainly not the end of the world and something you can recover from. However, if you are convicted of a second DUI within a two year period, then you could be considered a habitual offender, and your DUI charge can carry much harsher penalties and consequences.

If convicted, you can expect the penalties to be stiffer this time around. You can expect a mandatory jail sentence of up to 30 days, fines of up to $2,800, attendance of DUI school and alcohol program, and probation of three to five years. A judge may also order to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle. Your license will also be suspended for up to two years with eligibility to apply for a temporary driver’s license after one year.

The ramifications are obviously severe and can also have a serious impact on your finances, family and career. Due to the severity of the consequences, you should contact a Los Angeles DUI attorney to serve as your legal counselor both in and outside the courtroom.

While having a prior DUI on your record certainly doesn’t help, it doesn’t mean that the prosecutors have an airtight case against you. Your lawyer will carefully review the evidence and look for any holes in the prosecution’s case. While no defense attorney can guarantee a dismissal, you stand a much better chance of an outcome in your favor if you have a lawyer standing up for your rights.

Maintaining Your #DrivingLicense and Privileges After a #DUI Arrest

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:





DUI Conviction In a DUI conviction, one of the penalties includes a license suspension of up to four months for first time offenders. This could have drastic repercussions since losing your driving privileges could prevent you from commuting to work, dropping off and picking up your kids from school, and running other everyday errands.

What most people don’t know is that a DUI arrest does not have to mean an automatic license suspension. Under California law, you have up to 10 days from the time of your arrest to request for a DMV hearing. Failure to do so means an automatic suspension with no chance for a hearing at this point.

Saving your license is something a Beverley Hills DUI lawyer can help you with. An attorney understands the DMV hearing process and can walk you through the steps and options for maintaining your license.

Your lawyer can help you get approved for a temporary driver’s license. This enables you to have some sense of normalcy in your daily life as you can continue to operate your own vehicle. Also keep in mind that there are other reasons besides DUI in which your license may be revoked. This may include the accumulation of multiple traffic tickets. In such cases, the same rules apply in regards to holding onto your license, and you need to request a DMV hearing right away.

Making a few poor judgments behind the wheel does not have to entail having your license revoked completely. A lawyer can help you through the process of getting the suspension lifted.

Blood #Alcohol Concentration and When Your Levels are Over the Legal Limit

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:





In the State of California, an alcohol level of .08 percent is considered over the legal limit. Even if you feel okay and just a little buzzed after having a few drinks, you still need to hand your keys over to a designated driver. Keep in mind that what registers as .08 percent for one person may register lower or higher for someone else. Factors like your weight and the amount of time passed since your last drink come into play.

Blood Alcohol ConcentrationFor those under the age of 21, a BAC of over .01 percent is over the legal limit. This basically means you can’t have any traces of alcohol whatsoever. For drivers of commercial vehicles, the limit is .04 percent. Remember, however, that these are just numbers; common sense is the best indicator of whether you have had one too many drinks. Also watch out for your buddies and gauge whether they have had too many drinks to safely get behind the wheel. Don’t be afraid to step up and take the keys away from your friend if you have to. Taking a passive stance could cause irreversible regret should something happen on the road as a result of impaired judgment.

Nevertheless, if you have been pulled over and arrested on suspicion of DUI, you should contact a Beverley Hills DUI attorney. There are circumstances that could potentially work in your favor, such as if the breathalyzer was administered incorrectly. Even if the evidence is overwhelmingly against you, your lawyer can still be of valuable assistance in other areas, such as arranging for a plea bargain deal or arguing on your behalf for a sentence reduction.

The Reliability of #Breathalyzer Tests in a #DUI Case

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:





Breathalyzer Tests in a DUI Case
In California, as in most states, a BAC of .08 percent is considered above the legal limit. BAC is determined through a breathalyzer test. However, what most people don’t know is that these tests are not always reliable especially if they are not administered appropriately.

Most people are aware of their ability to refuse a breathalyzer test. However, what you must know is that California follows an implied consent law. This means that when you applied for your driver’s license, you also automatically consent to a breathalyzer test in the event that you are pulled over. By refusing the test, you can expect a $125 fine and a one year license suspension.

A BAC test is given at the time of the arrest, and the officer may either administer a breath or blood test. A urine test is a third option that may or may not be available. The thing about these tests is that they must be administered with precision. Leaving any steps out can hinder the reliability of the results.

All tests come with a field manual that outline the steps that must be followed. The steps are there for a reason, and if any of them are left out, then the validity of the results may come into question. Hollywood DUI attorneys are familiar with the field manuals and can use it to their advantage if there is reason to believe the arresting officer failed to follow test procedures by the book. This has been used many times by defense lawyers to have their client’s DUI case dismissed.

Jonathan Franklin is a dynamic law firm providing aggressive criminal and DUI defense to clients throughout the Southern California area. This year saw a major, 14 percent drop in the number of DUI arrests compared to 2013. Save a Life, Don't Drink and Drive!

Information on DUI
If you are arrested in California for DUI (called DWI in other states), a series of legal events begins that can result in a jail sentence, a fine, and the suspension of your driver’s license. If you have already been convicted for drunk driving, the penalties for DUI increase. It is essential that you are represented by experienced counsel who can successfully deal with the various issues growing out of the arrest. In California, a person charged with DUI will have their license confiscated by the arresting officer. You will be given a piece of paper that functions as a temporary license. Your temporary license should indicate that your license will be suspended within 30 days unless you schedule a DMV hearing to resolve the matter. You have only 10 days after your arrest to schedule a DMV hearing. You will also have an opportunity to enter a pre-trial motion to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges against you if an officer failed to follow proper procedure or stopped your car without reasonable suspicion.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin has helped numerous clients face and overcome the challenges that a DUI arrest presents. Contact us at 310.273.9600 to schedule your free consultation. We may be able to help you.

After a DUI Arrest in Los Angeles
We represent clients in drunk-driving cases, including:
First-time DUI
Felony DUI
DUI with injuries
Driver’s license suspension and restoration
Hit-and-run
Traffic violations

If you are a student at UCLA, USC, or any other local college or university, an underage DUI arrest can affect your ability to get a driver’s license and create other complications for you. If marijuana is found in your car as well, a drug possession conviction could affect your eligibility for financial aid. We can review your situation and case and discuss how best to resolve your underage or drug possession charge.

Achieving a Positive Outcome in DUI Cases in Los Angeles
Just because your breath or blood-alcohol tested .08 or above does not mean that conviction on the charge is a certainty. There may be procedural, mechanical, or biological factors on which a successful defense can be based. For example, the police may have made an improper stop. The breath or blood test may not have been conducted correctly. Or, the breath testing machine may not have been in proper working order.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will thoroughly investigate all of these factors and conduct a vigorous defense. Possible outcomes in this situation might include dismissal of the charge, a reduction of the charge, or victory at trial.

An Experienced Plea Negotiator – Los Angeles DUI
In some DUI cases, however, a trial may not be the best solution. It may be better to negotiate a plea agreement that enables you to move forward in your life without the expense or risk of a trial. Criminal defense attorney Jonathan Franklin is a former prosecutor and an experienced negotiator. He has a record of success in negotiating and obtaining reduced charges and mitigated penalties for clients in the Los Angeles and the Southern California area. When it is appropriate, he will seek such an outcome for you and present you with all of your options.
