Practice Areas: DUI Defense

Additional Information: A DUI charge in California is a serious matter. Not only do you suffer the initial humiliation and embarrassment of being in the hands of law enforcement, now you have the problem of a charge against you with court to face. If convicted, your penalty may include jail time, expensive fines, a suspended license, an increase in insurance and in-vehicle breathalyzer costs in the tens of thousands of dollars. A second or subsequent drunk driving conviction within 10 years creates a legal problem that one should not face without the assistance of an attorney. Those penalties vary greatly, even within Kern County. A conviction downtown will likely be only three years' probation whereas a conviction in the outlying courts often can be five years' probation for the exact same offense with the exact same circumstances. At Middlebrook & Associates, the Kern County DUI attorneys are exceptionally qualified in DUI defense. With years of experience and a successful track record, the firm has developed powerful DUI defense strategies. This includes the use of an independent toxicologist if necessary to defend you.
