Venice DUI Defense Lawyer

Drunk Driving Charges in Venice: An Aggressive Defense Law Firm

If you have been pulled over by Venice police or were stopped at a roadside sobriety checkpoint and subsequently arrested and charged with DUI, you are facing very serious penalties under California law. As time passes, the penalties for DUI have become more severe, and even a first DUI offense will lead to heavy fines, court fees, jail time, community service, treatment classes and a suspended license. More serious felony DUI charges can lead to prison time and a permanent criminal record that will destroy your personal and professional reputation beyond just the punishments that will be imposed by the court. In any DUI offense, the quality and experience of your Venice DUI attorney is one of the most significant factors in the final outcome of your case. At Okabe & Haushalter, our legal team has a reputation for excellence in court, and takes an aggressive approach to defending all types of DUI charges.

DUI Attorney in Venice

We have provided defense counsel in Los Angeles DUI defense and also serve the community of Venice with outstanding legal counsel in all criminal appeals as well as DUI appeals which are often difficult and require real legal acumen. In defending DUI charges, we immediately evaluate every piece of evidence, including the results of breath and blood tests, as well as exactly how they were administered and any possible errors in lab testing, units that were used in getting samples and other possible areas that could be exploited for the defense. We evaluate the administration of the field sobriety tests, as these are frequently administered incorrectly and could be open to challenge. If you were pulled over illegally and your rights violated, this will be immediately addressed and we could pursue a full case dismissal.

We defend professional drivers who have been accused of a commercial DUI, and understand how important it is to both you and your family that your case is given the full attention and focus needed to identify any possible errors or flaws in the case against you for your drunk driving defense. A commercial driver faces different challenges in DUI charges, as even when operating their own vehicle they cannot register at .04% or higher, when another driver would be considered under the legal limit. For more information about charges, please read our pages on DUI defense overview, DUI overview, or get general questions answered by clicking on our DUI Q & A page.

We represent the accused in any DUI with injury or other felony offense in which alcohol or drugs and driving are involved. Our DMV lawyers address the DMV in matters involving license suspension. The DMV hearing must be scheduled at once after your arrest, as your legal right to operate a vehicle is determined in this venue, not in criminal court. We defend those facing multiple DUI offenses, underage DUI, and also offer skilled counsel for victim representation,
