San Diego, California, Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
California is strict on DUIs. It is difficult to negotiate a deal with prosecutors because the DUI laws have mandatory conditions of probation that are difficult to have deferred or stricken. But, do not plead guilty or accept a plea bargain without consulting an attorney.
A good DUI defense lawyer will give you a clear, honest and practical evaluation of your case and what you can expect. If your case falls outside the guidelines for probation, a knowledgeable DUI defense lawyer will be able to develop a defense strategy to minimize the negative consequences.
If you are facing drunk driving charges in southern California, contact me, defense attorney Keith H. Rutman, for aggressive representation of your DUI charges.

- Felony drunk driving charges
- Driving under the influence of drugs
