If you have been charged with driving on a license that was suspended for a DUI conviction in Coachella Valley, California or surrounding areas, you may be looking at relatively severe consequences - more severe than for driving on a license suspended for any other reason. It is in your best interests to avail yourself of a defense lawyer with deep experience in this very specific practice area.
Although people are arrested for it every day, simply being drunk in a public place is not a crime. If you are out and having fun with plenty to drink, but none of the above applies to you, you are not guilty of this offense, despite being arrested by an over-aggressive police officer who says otherwise and throws you in jail.
Vehicle Code (VC) §23152(a) describes the crime of driving while "impaired" by alcohol or drugs. The second charge, VC §23152(b), only cares that you were driving with a BAC of 0.08% or more. Usually, either or both DUI allegations are misdemeanors, but either charge by itself is enough to support a DUI conviction.
If you have been recently arrested on the charge of DUI Drugs, that is, of DUID (driving under the influence of drugs) or "drugged driving, " you face as severe consequences upon a conviction as anyone convicted of an "ordinary" DUI.

The best legal strategies for defeating charges of DUI Drugs, however, differ at points from those better suited for DUI Alcohol, and it is imperative that you have a defense lawyer with experience in this special practice area.At the Law Office of David J. Givot, we understand the details of California law on DUI Drugs and have long experience in winning these types of cases in local courts of the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas.
