By submitting this questionnaire, you are not forming an attorney-client relationship. The only way to establish an attorney-client relationship with a criminal defense attorney or DUI / DWI criminal defense lawyer at The Kavinoky Law Firm is to sign a written retainer agreement and comply with its terms.

Each year many new laws are enacted in California, and 2008 is no exception. There are several new California laws pertaining to drunk driving and DUI / DWI. California’s drunk driving laws are already among the strictest in the country, so these new laws expose accused DUI / DWI drivers to even greater consequences than before.

Because the repercussions of a California DUI / DWI conviction are so severe, you need a top drunk driving defense attorney fighting aggressively to protect your rights. The knowledgeable California DUI / DWI defense lawyers of The Kavinoky Law Firm will fight effectively on your behalf. To get more information about California’s new DUI / DWI laws or to learn about proven defenses to drunk driving charges, contact us today for a free consultation.

The first of California’s new DUI / DWI laws affects individuals who are on probation for drunk driving. Effective Jan. 1, 2008, drivers placed on probation for DUI / DWI in California cannot operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .01 percent or greater.

Police can require the driver to submit to a PAS test, also known as a preliminary alcohol screening test, to establish the BAC of a driver on probation for DUI / DWI. Anyone who is on probation for DUI / DWI in California must submit to a PAS test when requested, under California’s implied consent law.

California lawmakers passed a second law pertaining to DUI / DWI and driver’s license applications. Beginning July 1, 2008, everyone who is applying for a new driver’s license or renewal in California will be required to acknowledge in writing that drunk driving resulting in death can result in the driver facing murder charges. If the driver is later accused of causing death while driving under the influence, this written admission will be used as evidence.

California DUI / DWI charges are more serious than ever, so if you’ve been arrested for drunk driving, you need the most qualified lawyer you can find. The experienced California DUI / DWI lawyers of The Kavinoky Law Firm have the skills and knowledge needed to defend you on any drunk driving charge. Contact us today for a free consultation.
