DUI Defense Lawyer Kimberly E. Abkin
If you face a DUI charge, you have two legal concerns to deal with immediately: The DMV administrative hearing on whether you can keep your driver's license and the DUI criminal proceeding to determine the sentence you may be given if convicted. There is a lot at stake, including your ability to drive and a criminal record that can have negative effects on your future and your career.
My job as a DUI defense attorney is to make sure your rights are protected and that the effect the DUI/DWI has on your life is minimized. Begin your defense now by calling me at 805-284-9732. You can also contact me online. Call now to schedule an appointment.
There are a number of defenses used in DUI/DWI cases, including the following:
- Police officer error
- Field sobriety test errors
- Blood testing errors
- Breath testing errors
- Procedural or administrative errors
I can examine your case to see if any of these defenses apply to your situation. If they do, it is often possible to get your charge reduced or, in some cases, even dismissed.
My goal is to help ensure that you can resume your life as quickly as possible after an arrest for drunk driving. As your defense attorney, I will represent you in court proceedings so that you don't have to miss work or school. I can protect the students at UCSB or SBCC from letting one mistake cloud their future.
Under 21? DUI Conviction Consequences are Severe
If you are a student at the University of California, Santa Barbara or Santa Barbara City College, a DUI can have long-lasting effects. If you are under 21 years old, a conviction will mean automatic suspension of your driver's license for a year. To mount an effective, vigorous defense of your license and driving privileges, contact an experienced DUI defense lawyer who knows the law and knows the people enforcing the law in the criminal court system in Santa Barbara.
