Orange County Lawyer for DUI Defense

Defense for DUI-Related Offenses

There are many offenses related to driving under the influence (DUI) that a driver may face. The lawyers at Gold & Witham are familiar with defending clients facing these charges, some of which include the following:

• DUI Auto Accidents
• Felony DUI
• DUI Causing Injury
• Hit and Run
• Vehicular Manslaughter
• Out of State DUI
• Breath Test Refusals
• Drugs and DUI Arrests

The specific circumstances of an arrest and what type of DUI charges a person faces will determine the penalties he or she may receive. With any type of driving under the influence conviction, a driver will lose his or her driving privileges. Additional criminal penalties, depending upon the severity of the DUI-related charges, may include fines, court fees, community service, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, alcohol rehabilitation, and time in county jail or state prison. Certain DUI-related charges are extremely serious and may result in years in a California state prison! A civil lawsuit may also be brought against an individual charged with vehicular manslaughter or DUI causing injury – where the victim or victims will seek monetary compensation for their injuries or losses.
