Los Angeles Drunk Driving Information
There are essentially two different cases that are brought against you when you are arrested for a DUI:
- First, there is the DMV case (Department of Motor Vehicles case) - this is where your driver's license may be taken away from you.
- Second, there is the criminal case - this can result in jail time, fines, classes for alcohol education, community service, impounding your vehicle, getting an ignition interlock device installed in your vehicle, or a combination of these things. It all depends on the facts of your individual case.

Important DUI/ DWI Information:
Given that so much is at stake in a DUI or DWI case, it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who has handled many DUI and DWI cases in California, and who will guide you through the legal maze of the California criminal justice system and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Although many individuals feel they will never be caught, or prosecuted for drunk driving, it is a very real crime. Here is a list of celebraties and athletes who have been charged with and/or prosecuted for drunk driving:
- Gary Rossington, one of the founding members of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd was arrested on DUI charges
- Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain was arrested for DUI
- Thomas Jane, who played "The Punisher," just got his legal knuckles rapped for a DUI earlier this year. Jane pleaded no contest to DUI
- Kurt Angle, an Olympic gold medalist and former WWE wrestler, was arrested and charged with DUI
- Heather Locklear was arrested recently for drunk driving
- Heidi Fleiss, former Hollywood prostitute and Madamme was arrested for drunk driving
The list is enormous of even high level celebrities being arrested, prosecuted and punished for DUI. While many celebraties get off without too much trouble, most citizens lack the financial ability to fight such a charge. Contacting an experienced and knowledgeable DUI defense attorney can be the difference between doing community service and having your car impounded while you head to jail.

Attorney Stephen G. Rodriguez wrote
Simply, no. It's common for the police to leave the hospital without arresting you. However, it is mandatory that they obtain a sample of your blood before they leave. Your blood will then be sent to the crime lab where they will determine whether you were under the influence of alcohol (.08) or drugs. If they determine you were, the prosecuting agency is likely to file DUI charges, in which case you will receive a summons to appear in court.

I was in a car accident last week. When the police arrived, they took me to the hospital, but after about an hour they left. I was not arrested, even though I had been drinking that night. Does that mean I don't have to worry about getting a DUI?
