Did you know that a DUI in Riverside County can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony crime, depending on the circumstances surrounding the arrest?
An individual may be charged with a felony if the incident involves great bodily injury to another person. This is a very serious crime and you can end up in California State prison and also be required to pay restitution to each person you injured.
In addition, if you have several DUI charges on your record, you will most probably face a felony charge. With a felony charge, you must appear in court on every court date set.
If the other person is severely injured, you could be facing bail of at least $100,000 and a year-long suspension of your license.
If you are stopped for driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, contact an experienced Riverside Criminal Law attorney who will fight for your rights today and in the future.

Driving in California is not a right – it is a privilege. Therefore, if you have gotten certain infractions behind the wheel, it is most probable that your driver’s license will be taken away or suspended for a long period of time.
And, if you are caught driving a vehicle with a suspended license, the consequences could be severe. Consequences for such actions include longer suspension, fines, and jail time.
If you are caught driving with a suspended license, don’t make a bad situation even worse - you need the legal representation of an experienced Riverside Criminal Law attorney who will represent your legal interests.
