Can I expunge a DUI conviction in California?

After you have successfully completed all of the probationary terms, in California you can request the judge to set aside that conviction as though it never happened. That's what we call an expungement. It's discretionary with the judge but as long as there as been no further criminal court cases, you have a high probability of having your conviction expunged. You still have to disclose that in an employment application depending among on how or what your work is. If you've been convicted and its been expunged, you can answer a question on an employment application that you've never been convicted of a crime. I'm Virgina Landry.

Can I represent myself after a DUI arrest in California?

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you do have the legal ability to represent yourself in court. However, I would not suggest that. There are legal issues. There are factual issues. There are scientific issues about breath, blood or urine testing. And with a trained professional you have a much higher opportunity to win your case and not end up losing your license nor having a conviction. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I have helped when bad things happen to good people. If you have been arrested for DUI, please call.

Which test hurts my DUI defense the most in California?

The toughest test to beat in California is a blood test. However, here in Orange County, California, we win cases when the laboratory makes a mistake on the blood test. In Los Angeles County, we win cases where the police officers make mistakes. In each city, a police officer has an approved breath testing device, so if the machine is not calibrated correctly, if it's not used appropriately, whether it's a breath or a blood, we may be able to exclude those test results, and that makes the difference on your case in court. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

What are the penalties for a minor convicted of a DUI in CA?

In California if you're convicted as a minor, someone who's under age 18 has different requirements from someone who's under age 21. If you're under age 18, you'll be required to lose your license for a longer period of time. You have a hospital program, a morgue program that you may have to attend, additional AA meetings. If you're between the ages of 16--you have a valid license, and 21--you have a license but you're still not legal to consume alcohol, there are different punishments that can occur. There are a variety of different alcohol levels for someone who's under age 21, both with the Department of Motor Vehicles and in court. I'm Virginia Landry.

Can I refuse to take the breath test in California?

In California, if you refuse to take a breath test, the police officer, realistically, will arrest you. There are different consequences for the refusal to take a test, such as: if you are convicted in court, it's mandatory jail. If you refuse to take a test and the police officer believes you're under the influence of alcohol, that refusal ends up with a longer license loss than if you take a test and you are significantly over the legal limit. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

What does intoxication technically mean in California?

Intoxication. That can mean anything the police officer wants it to mean. From a court perspective, a police officer wants to show that you have either some mental problem or a physical problem in being able to answer questions or to do field sobriety tests. Your ability to answer those questions and to do the field sobriety tests may have absolutely nothing at all to do with whether you're impaired to drive your car. I'm Virginia Landry.

What is the breath test and how does it work in California?

In California, if you choose to take a breath test, you blow into a tube. That tube has air that goes through it and they take, sort of like, a snap shot of the air that is blown through the tube at any given time and they convert that to some alcohol reading that'll be used against you at the DMV and in court. The breath test monitors how many little molecules of alcohol you have in this chamber. It's not very scientific. There are ways to beat those breath testing cases, but you still are required to complete either a blood or a breath test. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for a DUI, please call.

Is there a penalty for refusing to take the field sobriety test in California?

In California, if you refuse to do those standardized field sobriety tests, realistically a police officer has very little information to use against you in a court scenario to try and get a conviction. You can refuse them, but realistically a police officer will only have your questions, the answers that your provide, and any physical observation that they make of you to determine whether or not you're under the influence. You can refuse those tests and if you do, a police officer may still arrest you. I'm Virgina Landry. For the last nineteen years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people.
