Vehicle Impoundment

Our Trusted Southern California DUI Defense Attorney Can Assist You

When you are arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), impounding your vehicle can be a potential repercussion. The California Office of Traffic Safety supports and manages the state’s vehicle impoundment program in an effort to keep drug drivers from harming other people on the road. Your vehicle could be impounded for 30 days, depending on the severity of your charges.

It can be possible to avoid maximum penalties in these cases. Contact us today to request a free initial consultation with Mr. Geller.

Additional Penalties

Besides vehicle impoundment, if you are facing allegations for DUI, and wind up being convicted, you could face numerous other penalties. These penalties are meant to serve as a deterrent for potential drunk drivers and give those who need assistance the education they need about DUI topics.

These additional penalties can include:

• Jail or prison time
• Probation
• Fines
• Mandatory alcohol classes or treatment
• Community service
• Ignition interlock device
• Criminal record, which may count as a strike under California’s Three Strikes laws, and may not be eligible for DUI expungement in the future

Like any legal matter, the best results will come from having effective and aggressive representation to fight your charges. We will scrupulously go over the details of your arrest and build a defense strategy to try and avoid or minimize the penalties you could face.

Do not answer questions or provide statements to police, investigators or prosecutors without consulting your lawyer first, as this could be damaging to your case. You have the legal right to have your legal representation present for any questioning. We will guide you through the legal system and inform you of your options, based on your particular circumstances.
