Los Angeles DUI Loss of Transportation Attorneys
Loss of Transportation
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T DRIVE?
It really makes sense to hire an attorney. Otherwise, the results may be worse. If you are convicted of a DUI, you'll face many dire consequences. One major and immediate result of a DUI charge is the loss of your driver's license and being able to drive. You no longer have the necessity of using your car. You no longer can run to the store or take the kids to school. A DUI conviction not only will mandate that you arrange for other transportation, it will also cause you to make changes in other areas of your life as well. Your income and financial affairs are affected, and a DUI can even affect your job and work schedule.
The length of a potential suspension of someone's license and the loss of one's personal means of transportation depend on various factors. In California, even a first time DUI conviction could result in the loss of your license from six months to one year. However, as very experienced Los Angeles DUI lawyers, we can help you qualify for a restricted license, which will allow you to travel to and from work.
Second time California DUI offenders can lose their license for up to 2 years. And potentially you will have to install an Ignition Interlock Device just to start your car. Again, these timeframes and vehicle restrictions differ from situation to situation and often depend on the quality of your DUI defense. Drivers who are not yet of legal drinking age also lose their driving privileges, and a DUI conviction will have an impact on getting their full, unrestricted driving rights in the future.
As you can see, California DUI penalties are quite harsh and a conviction on DUI charges can affect the quality of your life for many years. If you or someone you care for has been charged with DUI, don't take a chance with your freedom by representing yourself in court!
