Press Release Summary: California attorney aids drivers in avoiding or reducing
drunk driving charges. Can a legal expert help in your case?

Press Release Body: The Law Offices of Douglas Slain offers legal expertise to
California residents battling charges of Driving Under the Influence. Many
California residents are unaware of the laws surrounding the intersection of motor
vehicles and alcoholic beverages. When dealing with complex legal issues in
California, turn to the Law Offices of Douglas Slain, an experienced attorney
offering advice in the legal issues surrounding drunk driving.
First, California residents don't actually have to be drunk to face arrest.
Regardless of whether your blood alcohol content surpasses the legal limit (0.08%),
drivers who appear impaired or unable to safely operate their vehicle are subject to
arrest and a DUI charge.
However, California drivers are never required to submit to a breath test in the
field, although they will almost certainly be asked for one. Until arrested, it is
your right to refuse a breathalyzer. Once arrested, however, you must submit to a
blood or breath test at the jail or police station. Failure to comply with a jail
test when ordered will result in the loss of a driver's license in California.
Finally, many California drivers faced with a DUI charge accept whatever is offered
by the prosecuting attorney. These drivers fail to obtain adequate representation
because they mistakenly assume that their case will inevitably result in a loss. Not
true. Although every case is different, and drunk driving is certainly a serious
charge, an experienced DUI attorney, with skill in navigating California's legal
system, can often have charges reduced or dropped, helping California drivers retain
their licenses and avoid fines and jail time.
