Ventura First DUI Arrest Defense Attorneys

Although California authorities take all DUI/drunk driving cases very seriously, a first-time offender may be able to minimize fines and/or jail time and effectively challenge a suspended license with the help of an experienced DUI defense attorney at the Southern California law firm of Bamieh & Erickson.

Driving under the influence is never a good idea. Regardless of accuracy questions surrounding the use of field Breathalyzers, if your BAC (blood alcohol content) registers a .08 or above when you blow, you will be arrested for DUI.

The consequences of a DUI can be severe, even for a first offense. Underage drinking and driving and other DUI enhancements may carry especially severe penalties. If you are facing a DUI charge or your child under the age of 21 has been arrested for drunk driving, contact an experienced DUI defense lawyer at Bamieh & Erickson today.

A DUI arrest is often our clients' first serious contact with law enforcement. We understand the fear and embarrassment that you may be feeling, especially if this is your or your loved one's first offense. Our accomplished attorneys provide sound legal counsel and determined representation to protect your rights at every stage of the process, from representing you at DMV hearings for a suspended driver's license to challenging field sobriety tests and blood tests at trial.

We can also help you address related issues, such as potentially increased car insurance rates and the possible need for substance abuse counseling. Seeking some form of alcohol treatment in a first offense situation can not only help your case before the judge, but may also be able to prevent a more serious problem before it develops.
