Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys represent various individuals who find themselves facing DUI related charges in Los Angeles. Professional athletes, business executives, house wives and even law enforcement officials sometimes need a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy Robert Andrew Moran, 42, was convicted this past February of driving under the influence after crashing his department-issued Chevrolet Blazer into a two passenger car last year.
Moran was reportedly headed southbound on Beach Boulevard at Garden Grove Boulevard in Stanton when he ran into the driver's side of a Mazda sedan. The Mazda's driver, a 33 year-old male, and his 20 year-old female passenger sustained moderate injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Tests showed that Moran's blood alcohol concentration was above the legal .08% limit. Moran pleaded no contest to one charge of driving causing injury while driving under the influence of alcohol and no contest to one charge of driving with a blood alcohol level of more than .08% and causing injury. Moran's sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 30th in Santa Ana.
Penalties for driving under the influence cases vary widely depending on the facts of each case and the defendant's prior driving history. DUI offenses are generally classified as misdemeanors, unless it is a person's fourth DUI charge in a 10-year period, or if another person is seriously injured as a result of the defendant's driving. In those cases, the DUI charge is classified as a felony offense. A conviction for a first driving under the influence offense carries a penalty of anywhere from 96 hours to one year in a county jail. The judge in such cases also has the option of assessing fines from $390 to $1,000.
