DUI

All Newport Beach Cases heard at the Harbor Justice Center, 4601 Jamboree Rd. Newport Beach, CA., 92660

The police presence in the downtown Newport Beach area is substantial given the popularity of the night life scene. Pacific Coast Highway and Superior Street in Newport Beach are infamous for having DUI checkpoints. This is especially true during major holidays like Labor Day and the Fourth of July. Also, foot patrols during major holidays in the bar area increase many times over during holiday weekends where there is a huge influx of out of county people heading to the beach.

Some driving under the influence cases can be reduced to reckless driving under Vehicle Code Section 23103 per Vehicle Code Section 23103.5; normally, this happens when the blood alcohol level is low or there is a good argument for a rising alcohol level. An experienced lawyer like Newport Beach DUI Lawyer Will Bruzzo can see whether this option is a possibility for the client.

Driving under the Influence can be charged under Vehicle Code Sections 23152(a) and 23152 (b). Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) prohibits anyone driving under the influence of any amount of drugs or alcohol that impairs their driving. Vehicle Code Section 23152(b) prohibits anyone driving with a blood alcohol level at or above .08.

Mr. Bruzzo was able to get a case dismissed after trial despite the fact the client had a .15 blood alcohol level (almost twice the legal limit) and an accident.
