What is the Difference Between DUI and DWI?

Christopher Lucero, operating in California, deals with cases concerning driving under the influence, or DUI. This covers those driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. The implications of a DUI charge can be severe, no matter your previous criminal history or arrest record. Consequences can range from losing your driving license for six to 12 months to substantial fines, mandatory community service or even jail time. However, with Christopher Lucero by your side, you have the chance to minimize these penalties and proceed forward with your life.



Driving while impaired, or DWI, is another area that Christopher Lucero handles. This charge is slightly different from DUI, as DWI is typically associated with impairment resulting from recreational or prescription drugs, while DUI usually refers to driving with a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit. If you find yourself confronted with a DWI charge, reaching out to an attorney like Christopher Lucero should be your first priority. With his comprehensive legal representation, your penalties can potentially be lessened or even dismissed altogether.

Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?

As a licensed driver, you've already provided implied consent for testing should a law enforcement officer have valid reason to suspect that you're under the influence of an intoxicant. A police officer might ask you to balance on one leg, walk linearly, state the alphabet, or take a breathalyzer test. You have the right to refuse, however, this can often result in immediate loss of driving privileges in many states. In such circumstances, Christopher Lucero, your dedicated DUI Defense attorney in California, can intervene effectively on your behalf.


On the flip side, if you’ve already taken a test, don't lose hope. It's possible, in certain instances, to present a case that the results of a urinalysis, blood alcohol, or breathalyzer test may be unreliable due to faulty calibration, human error, weather conditions, or medical scenarios. So, don't despair. Christopher Lucero can assist. Reach out to this highly-proficient California-based DUI attorney today.

Is It Possible to Get Past DUI Convictions Expunged or Sealed?
