The Ongoing Los Angeles DUI Saga for Lindsay Lohan

Former teen music and movie star Lindsay Lohan has an ongoing drunk driving saga that has lasted almost as long as her career.  After being sent to prison earlier this summer for Multiple Los Angeles DUI convictions, she was then sent to a rehab facility where she was to spend 90 days getting counseling and training on how to stay clear from drugs and alcohol.  However, after the original judge recused herself due to improper contact with people involved in the case, it appears Lohan may be able to cut short her stint in rehab. 

Lindsay Lohan's Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney is trying to get her out of rehab by August 25, as she has reportedly done very well during her time at the UCLA rehab clinic where she was sent.  The new judge, Hon. Elden Fox, listened to reports from Lohan's  Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney, the prosecutor in the case, the doctors who have been treating Lohan as well as other experts.  Although no word yet has been released, Lohan stands a good shot of getting out of rehab prior to the full 90 days she was sentenced to spend there.

With a highly skilled Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney working for you, there is not reason you should be at the total mercy of any judge, prosecutor or even a jury. A knowledgeable, experienced lawyer will be able to work hard on your behalf to cut down any sentencing and to help you find ways of complying with court orders to cut sentencing short.  For example, if you willingly submit yourself to a rehab program before sentencing, you may be able to avoid going to jail, going to mandatory counseling, going to a rehab facility chosen by the court, etc.  An attorney with experience in DUI trials can help you understand how to comply with the courts in such a way that your sentence becomes lighter.

In Lindsay Lohan's case, she has Multiple Los Angeles DUI convictions, meaning the court has seen a pattern of poor behavior, not just one bad mistake.  As a result, she will have to prove that not only is she sorry for what she has done, but she is working to build a lifestyle that no longer supports such bad behavior as drinking and driving.  With a skilled Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney, you can have a great deal of guidance in trying to convince the court that you should not serve any jail time.  At Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin, LLP, our lawyers know how to communicate with judges and how to battle against prosecution and law enforcement tactics.  Instead of waiting for the judge to send you to prison and/or worse, you can actively work to help yourself by getting help before hand.  Our lawyers can direct you to programs which are well received by the courts, and which will show the judge, prosecution and jury that you have been working to help your situation.
