Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Although driving under the influence is a serious crime no matter what state you happen to live in, it’s definitely an offense to be reckoned with in California. Even so, many Californians are not fully familiar with the specifics of California DUI law.
• Misdemeanors
  • Law 23152(a) states that it’s a misdemeanor to operate a motor vehicle of any kind while you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs (legal or otherwise).
• Manslaughter
  It should also be noted that many California courts are quite tough on drivers accused of DUI-related offenses, especially in regards to repeat offenses. Despite the fact that 23152 is really only one act, it does – as detailed above – cover two separate offenses. According to Sacramento Criminal Lawyer Michael Rehm, it is possible to wind up convicted of both offenses. “Vehicular manslaughter” covers a completely different area altogether and will only apply in instances where there has been a death.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  California has to date endured multiple years of extreme water shortage. However, while water shortage in general is nothing new to California residents on a historical basis, this is the first time in a while such conditions have been sustained for so long at quite this level, according to Eureka Personal Injury Attorneys. What’s more, the voters have spoken in regards to their feelings about it all. As of late February of this year, it can officially be said that very close to all California voters – over 94% to be more exact — believe that the current water shortage is a “serious” problem and that something must be done about it. However, those polled were admittedly split on whether or not rollbacks to environmental protection should be implemented as a potential way to address the issue.
