Adult Charges: Pasadena DUI Cases

Pasadena DUI Lawyer

Those who are over the age of 21 in our state have certain rules and restrictions regarding alcohol content in the blood when operating a car, truck or other vehicle. If register at .08% BAC or higher you will be immediately arrested for DUI and put in jail.  These is a serious matter and if convicted of the offense, even a first time DUI, you can be facing very serious penalties, including jail time, a suspended license, steep fines, community service and a blot on your criminal record for any future employer to access when seeking a job. There are other costs you will face such as increased insurance rates. This is all for a first time misdemeanor DUI offense.

If you are over 21 and have a prior conviction, the penalties are greatly enhanced in subsequent convictions, and you could have a suspended license for up to a year in many cases. In the past, you could have asked for a restricted license, but laws have changed and for repeat offenders, this option has been changed.
