Please continue reading and reach out to our experienced legal team to learn more about high BAC DUI charges and what we can to do protect you from their ramifications. Here are some of the questions you may have:
What is considered a high BAC DUI in California?
To start, you should understand that anyone arrested with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher will be charged with a DUI. However, when someone is found to have a blood alcohol content of .15% or higher, they will face high BAC charges. These come with far harsher penalties than standard DUIs, which is why anyone facing these charges shouldn’t proceed without a competent and aggressive Shasta County criminal lawyer in their corner. Fortunately, you’re in the right place.
What are the penalties for a high BAC DUI in the state of California?
If you’ve been charged with a high BAC DUI, you’re facing a wide array of penalties that can impact your life for years down that road. In most cases, high BAC DUIs warrant high fines, a period of incarceration, and a license suspension. If you have previous DUIs on your record, you can count on courts to factor this in and ramp up your charges as well. Additional aggravating conditions include having a minor passenger in your vehicle or causing an accident because of your intoxication. The bottom line is that if you’re facing DUI charges of any kind, and especially high BAC DUI charges, it is of paramount importance that you retain legal counsel that can fight for your best interests, every step of the way.
