Speak With Attorney Rubin About Your Case

Carlsbad DUI Lawyer

California’s drunk driving laws (DUI) can be difficult to understand and carry serious penalties. Even if your blood alcohol content is below the legal limit you can face criminal charges for being “under the influence” of alcohol or drugs. Improperly handling a DUI charge can result in an extended loss of license, increased conditions of probation, and even time in jail.

If you are charged with DUI in San Diego County, get legal help right away from Rubin Law Office. I am a former prosecutor who understands the legal system. Located in Carlsbad, I can provide you with the advice and representation you need to deal with your case appropriately and effectively.

When facing a DUI in Carlsbad, selecting an attorney who is not only skilled but also genuinely invested in your case can make all the difference. Rubin Law Office is dedicated to providing that level of service, so please contact me today.

Understanding California’s DUI Laws

In California, you can be charged with driving under the influence if your mental or physical abilities are impaired by drugs or alcohol to the degree that you no longer show the caution a sober person would.  You can be “per se” under the influence if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is above:

  • .01% if you are under 21 years of age or on probation for DUI
  • .08% if you are a driver over 21 years of age
  • .04% if you are a commercial driver

A conviction for a DUI charge can result in steep fines and time spent in jail. Each time you are convicted of DUI, the penalties grow steeper. You don’t have to deal with these charges on your own. Call or contact Rubin Law Office so that I can help you analyze the details of your case and start putting together a defense strategy.

Carlsbad DUI Cases I Handle

I bring a unique blend of experience, personal attention, and specialized knowledge to DUI defense in Carlsbad. With a proven track record that spans various types of DUI cases, from first-time offenses to complex felony charges, my legal practice is distinguished by my careful and thorough approach to each case. 

Underage DUI Defense

I recognize the serious implications of underage DUI charges and employ several robust defenses to mitigate these cases. My strategies include: 

  • Challenging the legality of the initial police stop
  • Questioning the accuracy of breathalyzer results
  • Advocating for a critical needs license that allows underage individuals to drive under specific conditions

This proactive approach often prevents a criminal conviction, preserving the future opportunities of younger clients.

Felony DUI

I have a strong track record of successful outcomes in these serious cases. I deal with high-stakes situations such as repeat DUI offenses, accidents causing serious injuries, or previous felony DUI convictions. My defense strategy focuses on minimizing the immediate penalties and long-term consequences of a felony DUI.

DUI with Bodily Injury

In cases where DUI results in bodily injury, I can prepare a solid defense to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. I will work to verify the legal basis of the driving under the influence charge, the impairment allegations, and the link between the client’s actions and the injury. My goal is to significantly reduce the harsh penalties associated with these charges.

DMV Hearing Defense

Rubin Law Office vigorously represents clients in DMV hearings to help prevent license suspension. Defense strategies often include questioning the legality of the traffic stop, the conditions affecting sobriety testing, and the procedural adherence to legal warnings given to the accused. This thorough defense strategy has helped many clients maintain their driving privileges.

First Time DUI

For first-time DUI offenders, I provide an exhaustive defense that includes guiding clients through DMV hearings and exploring every avenue to fight the charge. My goal is to dismiss or reduce penalties and/or manage probation requirements effectively.

Second Time DUI

Recognizing the increased penalties for repeat offenses, I deliver a robust defense for second-time DUI charges. My strategy includes detailed preparation to address potential jail time, fines, and other penalties like mandatory classes and community service. My advocacy focuses on reducing the impact of repeat offenses on his clients’ lives.

Hit & Run DUI

DUI cases combined with a hit-and-run raise unique circumstances. I focus on minimizing severe penalties, such as mandatory jail time and extended license suspension. My strategy involves a thorough examination of all circumstances surrounding the incident and crafting a defense that addresses both the DUI and the allegations of leaving the scene.

Prescription Drug DUI

I also tackle DUI charges stemming from the use of legally prescribed medications. I can work to educate the court on how prescribed drugs might affect driving abilities without necessarily implying impairment that merits a DUI. I can challenge the assumptions about medication effects and seek to protect clients from undue penalties.

Through each of these specialized areas of DUI defense, I bring a tailored approach that leverages my extensive legal skills and courtroom experience to advocate for my clients. 

Dealing With A DUI Arrest

If you’ve been arrested for drunk driving, getting an experienced Carlsbad DUI attorney on your side early can lead to favorable results such as:

  • Your case being dismissed
  • Your charges being reduced
  • A plea for a more favorable charge
  • A not-guilty verdict at trial.

Your actions at the beginning of your case will affect your case’s outcome and the sentence you may receive.

Handling Your DUI DMV Hearing

If you have been arrested for a DUI, the DMV will revoke your license 30 days after the arrest. You are entitled to a hearing on whether or not the DMV should suspend your license – but you must request the hearing within 10 days of your arrest. Once a hearing is scheduled, you can keep your license until after the hearing occurs. This gives you and your attorney time to build your case and get you the best possible outcome – both in court and with the DMV. I can help you schedule your DMV hearing and can represent you at that hearing.
