Los Angeles DUI, Divorce and Life

When a Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney represents a client, he knows that the individual charged with drunk driving is probably going through some difficult moments in his or her life.  While certain groups paint everyone charged with drunk driving as a party-goer, a reckless individual or an alcoholic who has lost control, the reality is that many people find themselves in difficult circumstances which lead to their drinking.

Recently, a political official was "outed" as he was pulled over for a DUI after leaving a gay bar.  The stress of living a double life quite possibly led to his drinking, and to certain potential bad decisions.  However, in these moments, it is important than ever to have a qualified Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney to think clearly when you are clearly overwhelmed with life.

Former NFL running back Corey Dillon is having just such a difficult time, as he was busted for a drunk driving charge in Los Angeles in the midst of a messy divorce with his wife.  The couple have three children, have been married for ten years and there is a bitter custody battle involved.  In the midst of this, Dillon (who played for the Bengals and the Patriots) was pulled by police in Malibu around 3:30 AM.  If convicted of drunk driving, this could have a terribly negative impact on his divorce proceedings, his custody case, alimony and more.  In this instance, having a skilled Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney working to make sure no conviction goes through could have a huge impact on his life for quite a long time.

In Los Angeles, especially with a bad economy, the police and the California Highway Patrol are cracking down hard on drunk drivers.  This can lead them to charge anyone with a hint of alcohol on their breath, or who they perceive to be driving erratically.  As a result, citizens need a skilled Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney working on their behalf to protect their rights and their freedoms.  The fines associated with DUI cases can be a major source of revenue for the city and the state, making anyone charged with a DUI a potential ATM machine for politicians.  Without a skilled  Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney working for you, you will be at the mercy of the courts, the prosecution and state laws.
