Driving under the influence (drunk driving), is the voluntary act of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol or both.  You need an aggressive defense attorney to help you.  The California Vehicle Code lists two sections which of most commonly charged in California Crimina DUI courts, VC 23152(a) and 23152(b), commonly referred to as the "(a) count" and the "(b) count."

Generally, if your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is above the legal limit (.08% or higher if over 21 years age) while driving, you will be charged with DUI.

Even if your BAC is below the legal limit, you can still be charged with a DUI.  However, the likelihood of a reduced charge of a "Wet Reckless" is more likely.

You need an experienced and confident attorney to get your charges dismissed or reduced.  Many people charged with DUI chose to represent themselves (Pro Per) at the arraignment.  This is a mistake.  Saving money initially, could cost you more in the long run.  Prosecutors are much less inclined to negotiate with a pro per litigant versus an experience attorney.  Your case can be dismissed or your fines can possibly be reduced by thousands of dollar with an experienced and aggressive attorney.
