In the state of California a conviction for DUI is very serious. Even a first time offender can face possible incarceration, in addition to large monetary fines, community service, restitution, DUI School, alcohol and drug counseling, vehicle impoundment, installation of vehicle interlock device, probation, parole and much more. The one and only chance a person may have at avoiding a conviction or very harsh penalties if convicted, would be to hire a skilled Los Angeles DUI attorney immediately.

In Los Angeles DUI crimes are charged under the California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) and 23152(b). The first section, 23152(a), is enforced very strongly by the police and prosecutors. If you are stopped by the police for driving under the influence in the Los Angeles then you can be charged with this crime. The police will claim that you weaved in traffic, were speeding, or violated some other traffic law. The police will then ask you to step out of the vehicle to determine if you have alcohol or drugs in your system.

If you are arrested for having a blood alcohol level in excess of .08% in violation of California Vehicle Code Section 23152(b), then the police will charge you with this crime. In order to prove that the driver's blood was above the legal limit, the police will conduct a chemical test. The chemical test will be either a Los Angeles DUI blood test or a Los Angeles DUI breathe test.

In some cases after a person is arrested for a Los Angeles DUI, the driver will refuse to give a chemical test. That is called a DUI refusal and the result will be very harsh. A DUI refusal will result in the DMV suspending their driver's license for a minimum of one year. Therefore, it is very important if a person is arrested or charged with a DUI in Los Angeles to hire a top notch Los Angeles DUI Defense Lawyer.

★★★★★
Michael Kraut is outstanding! He genuinely cared about my case and instructed my mom and I throughout the entire process. He was very clear on what he needed in order to receive the best results. He kept us updated until the end. I thank him so much for getting my charges rejected. I highly recommend him to anyone with legal needs! Shaquan
★★★★★
I contacted Michael with concern for my personal and business reputation. He was very reassuring and confident the entire time. After about 3 weeks it was determined that no charges were being filed by any agency and I was in the clear of any investigation. One thing that is amazing is just how FAST Michael is at replying to phone calls, texts, and even emails! We are talking under 30 minutes in most cases. That is unheard of for most attorneys! Michael is incredible and not your typical run of the mill attorney. For best results hire him if you feel like you might be under investigation or could face charges. Even if you know you are innocent it is best to take care of the smoke before it becomes a fire. Brad
★★★★★
Michael Kraut is-hands down-the best criminal defense attorney and I can't begin to thank him for all that he did for me and my family. I reached out to him in the middle of the night and less than a couple hours later, he had gotten back to me and scheduled a meeting. He's a no-nonsense attorney who knows how to get the job done! From the second we retained him, I had peace of mind in knowing that we were in the best hands possible. If Michael Kraut couldn't get it done, I knew that it couldn't be done at all. You can't put a price tag on your freedom. He was worth every single penny. Lida

Michael Kraut - I cannot thank you enough for all that you did for ​my son. When I came to you I read that you used to be a district attorney but I never knew how much that meant until I watch you in court. I knew it took 3 months but the final day when I heard the judge say that all charges were dismissed it was all worth it! I will always be grateful for all that you did for us. A.N.
