As a premier Orange County DUI Attorney, Obie Ozobu fights for clients arrested for DUI. A DUI conviction carries thousands of dollars of fines and fees, potential jail time or prison time, mandatory education from an alcohol education provider, and a driver’s license suspension. Several counties require the installation of an ignition interlock device or permanently submitting one’s DNA to a law enforcement database. So, it’s very important to retain an experienced attorney for these matters.
DUI convictions negatively impact employment prospects. Most major employers research a person’s criminal backgrounds. Every year, thousands of people are passed over for employment or promotion due to a DUI conviction on their records.
The Importance of Protecting Driver’s Licenses
Driver’s License Record checks also result in people losing out on employment opportunities. A DUI conviction can result in a driver’s license suspension or revocation for up to 3 years. The Department of Motor Vehicles will not purge the conviction from a driver’s record for 13 years.
Fighting DUI Charged as a Strike under the Three Strikes Law
Prosecutors charge some DUI’s as felonies under the Three Strikes Law. These charges carry years in prison if convicted. When exposed to this type of penalty, you need an attorney with a proven track record of success.
