Criminal charges involving driving or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs are extremely serious. Although drunk driving is a relatively common criminal offense and may be committed by individuals with no prior criminal records or arrests, the penalties for DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while the influence) can be significant. In addition to imprisonment, a person convicted of DUI in California may face: fines, license suspension, community service, probation, counseling and court-ordered drug or alcohol treatment.

With over a decade in a legal practice devoted exclusively to criminal defense, Attorney Daniel B. Halpern may be able to help you in the face of your California DWI or DUI charges. The best way to avoid license suspension and criminal penalties such as imprisonment and fines is to work with an experienced and dedicated lawyer who can provide you with the representation you need throughout all criminal proceedings. Attorney Daniel B. Halpern offers a free initial consultation to discuss your drunk driving charges with you, inform you of your legal rights and help you understand how he can assist you with your case.

After a DUI or DWI arrest, most people think it’s all over. This could not be further from the truth. Even after a failed breath test or blood test or an officer’s allegations that you performed poorly on field sobriety tests, there is much that an attorney can do to build an aggressive defense strategy on your behalf. Even the seemingly smallest mistake made by law enforcement may have a significant impact on the outcome of your case, limiting the amount of evidence the prosecution is able to use against you or perhaps weakening the state’s case so much that your charges are dropped or reduced.

With the proper resources and by dedicating the necessary time and energy to your defense, Attorney Daniel B. Halpern can uncover evidence or witness testimony that supports your side of the story, that disproves blood or breath test results or shows that law enforcement did not have probable cause to pull you over in the first place.
