Charged With Baby DUI under CVC 23140?

Under California Vehicle Code 23140, “It is unlawful for a person under the age of 21 years who has 0.05 percent or more by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle.”

This is called a “Baby DUI” because the class of people who can potentially get charged are minors.  It comes with a mandatory 1 year license suspension.

There are legal ways to avoid many, if not all, of these consequences.  A DUI is a misdemeanor case.  This means that you have the constitutional right to a jury trial, to confront the witnesses accusing you, and to see the government’s evidence.  There are defenses that can result in anything from a complete dismissal or acquittal of the charge to reduction in the charges or the penalties of the offense.

• Free Consultation – Sit down face-to-face with a lawyer and discuss the facts of your case.  You will get a full analysis, legal opinion, and recommended course of action.

• Court Representation – Your DUI may also mean that you are being charged with a misdemeanor.  We are skilled criminal attorneys and we focus our practice on DUI cases.  We can advocate for you in court to try and acheive a dismissal, acquittal, or substantial reduction in the charges.
• Jury Trial Representation – We appear in California Courts everyday and most days, multiple courts.  We have tried a high volume of DUI cases over the years.  If your case proceeds to jury trial, you can have a skilled team of attorneys, investigators, experts, and admin staff working your case to the fullest.
