Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorneys

DUI-Related Offenses in Los Angeles, California

Defending Los Angeles DUI (driving under the influence) charges and DUI-related offenses is never easy. But for an attorney who has the resources, knowledge, experience and persistence, it is definitely possible to achieve stellar results in defending drunk driving cases.

The Los Angeles DUI defense lawyers and attorneys at Gold & Witham understand how to defend a simple driving under the influence charge as well as other DUI-related offenses such as felony DUI charges, DUI auto accidents, breath test refusals, vehicular manslaughter, out of state DUI charges, driving under the influence of drugs and multiple DUI offenses.

Many Los Angeles driving under the influence cases are charged as misdemeanors. When an accident, injury or death results from drunk driving, however, the prosecuting attorney will likely seek to charge this offense as a felony. A felony charge is distinct from a misdemeanor charge because of the penalties associated with it. A misdemeanor DUI charge may include a county jail sentence of up to 12 months, but a felony DUI charge will include a minimum state prison or jail sentence of 1 year.
