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.
