Understanding DUI Charges in California

California has strict DUI laws that carry severe penalties. A DUI charge may result from operating a vehicle with:

• A Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher (for drivers 21 and older)
• A BAC of 0.01% or higher (for drivers under 21)
• A BAC of 0.04% or higher (for commercial drivers)
• Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID), including prescription or illegal substances

If convicted, penalties can include:

• Fines and court fees
• License suspension or revocation
• Mandatory DUI education programs
• Probation or jail time
• Ignition interlock device (IID) installation

Potential DUI Defenses

A DUI charge does not automatically mean a conviction. There are several legal defenses that may apply to your case, including:

• Inaccurate Breath or Blood Test Results: Testing equipment can be faulty, and improper calibration can lead to unreliable BAC readings.
• Unlawful Traffic Stop: If law enforcement did not have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, your case may be dismissed.
• Violation of Rights: Failure to follow proper arrest and Miranda warning procedures can make certain evidence inadmissible.
• Medical Conditions or Other Factors: Conditions like acid reflux or diabetes can impact BAC test results.
• Lack of Evidence: If the prosecution lacks solid evidence of intoxication or impaired driving, charges may be reduced or dropped.

What to Do If You Are Arrested for DUI

If you have been pulled over or arrested for DUI, follow these steps to protect your rights:

1. Stay Calm and Cooperate: Avoid confrontation and comply with law enforcement instructions.
2. Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent: Do not answer any questions without an attorney present.
3. Request an Attorney: Contact the Law Office of Hector J. Tamayo immediately for legal representation.
4. Take Note of Details: Record everything you remember about the stop, including time, location, and officer interactions.
5. Do Not Delay: DUI cases are time-sensitive. You have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing to contest license suspension.

Federal court representation requires a skilled and experienced attorney who understands the complexities of federal law, court procedures, and prosecutorial strategies. Facing charges in federal court is a serious and daunting challenge, as the federal criminal justice system operates under distinct rules from state courts, often imposing harsher sentencing guidelines and pursuing cases with extensive investigative resources. With aggressive prosecution and high stakes, having a knowledgeable and tenacious defense lawyer is essential to protecting your rights and achieving the best possible outcome.

At the Law Office of Hector J. Tamayo, we provide aggressive and strategic defense for individuals facing federal charges. Attorney Hector J. Tamayo has extensive experience handling a wide range of federal offenses, including but not limited to:

Drug Trafficking & Federal Drug Offenses

Federal drug charges, including trafficking, conspiracy, and distribution, carry severe penalties, often involving mandatory minimum sentences.

Our firm understands federal drug laws and the defenses available, from challenging unlawful searches and seizures to exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Fraud & Financial Crimes

Allegations of fraud—including wire fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, healthcare fraud, and securities fraud—can lead to lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines. Mr. Tamayo aggressively defends clients accused of these offenses, working to dismantle the government’s case by challenging evidence, intent, and investigative procedures.

Conspiracy & Racketeering (RICO) Charges

Federal prosecutors often use conspiracy and RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) laws to charge individuals with involvement in organized criminal activity. These cases are complex and can result in severe penalties. Our firm has the knowledge and experience to challenge conspiracy allegations and fight against unjust prosecutions.

Federal Weapons Offenses

Firearm-related charges, including possession of illegal weapons, firearms trafficking, and violations of federal gun laws, can lead to serious consequences.

Being accused of domestic violence can have profound and far-reaching consequences, affecting nearly every aspect of your life. Beyond the immediate threat of criminal charges, a domestic violence allegation can lead to restraining orders, loss of custody and visitation rights, damage to your reputation, and potential difficulties in employment and housing.

• Aggressive Trial Representation: If your case goes to trial, we provide a strong, well-prepared defense, challenging the prosecution’s case and presenting evidence to support your innocence or mitigate potential penalties.

Understanding Assault & Battery Charges

Being accused of theft and burglary is a serious legal matter that can lead to severe consequences, including jail time, substantial fines, restitution payments, probation, and a permanent criminal record. A conviction for these offenses can impact your ability to secure employment, housing, and financial opportunities, as many employers and landlords conduct background checks that reveal theft-related charges. Additionally, certain theft crimes carry sentencing enhancements, which can result in even harsher penalties if not properly defended.

At the Law Office of Hector J. Tamayo, we understand the high stakes involved in theft and burglary cases, and we are committed to providing an aggressive and strategic defense to protect your rights.

• Coerced Confessions: If you were pressured into making a statement or denied access to legal counsel, we will challenge the admissibility of your confession in court.
• Insufficient Evidence: The prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If there is weak or circumstantial evidence, we will aggressively challenge the case against you.
