What Happens If I’m Arrested For Drunk Driving in Orange County?
Being arrested for DUI in Orange County can seem very scary – especially if this is your first offense. Driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent or greater is considered drunken driving under California law. If you are first time offender, you stand the risk of jail time, fines, license suspension or possibly all of the above. Two or more DUI offenses could result in the more severe consequences including mandatory DUI classes.
The consequences for drunk driving in Orange County will depend upon a number of factors including blood-alcohol content (BAC), whether or not you were involved in an accident, your history of moving violations, whether or not there were any serious injuries or deaths, and other circumstances specific to your case. If you are a parent with a minor in the car, there’s a chance that child neglect/abuse charges could be filed against you as well.
It’s highly recommended that you hire an Orange County dui attorney to help you with your case. There are certain procedures that need to be followed if you’ve been arrested for a DUI and a dui attorney can help make the process go a little smoother. Your attorney will be the one to investigate all the details of your case including the police report. The more you remember what happened before, during, and after your arrest, the better. Having witnesses to testify to your state of mind will help the case even more.
Drunk driving is a mistake that many people make, but if you learn from that mistake the better off you’ll be in the long run.

attorney questions Orange County, CA?
If the bio father has a restraining order on him and hasn’t been in contact for the 3 years of the RO, is it easier to adopt from step dad because of abandoment? The court said he could write letters etc to keep in touch as long as it went through the child’s therapists first… no letters. Do we have a good case to try and adopt?
Also, what age does the child need to be in Orange County court to decide if they want the RO to continue?
Yes, I knew that. I was wondering if it helps out for the parent that wants to adopt. Maybe what you are saying is that it doesn’t matter. The judge looks at the entire case, even if the other parent never kept in contact. thanks for your answer.
every case is different. Any adoption will be judged from the viewpoint of the interests of the child, not (sometimes selfish) adult interests.
