California DUI Penalties
While consequences can vary based on several factors, the basic penalties for drunk driving in the state of California are as follows:
Sensitivity
When you or your case is put under the media spotlight, it can be difficult to keep the details out of the public eye. A novice attorney may slip up and reveal something that could put your case, your rights and even your freedom at risk.
You need a lawyer who will protect your privacy and reputation. Our law firm is particularly careful in this regard.
Resilience
When your case is under the magnifying glass of the media, some lawyers may have a difficult time dealing with the public sentiment surrounding your case. Inexperience can quickly lead t lost opportunities or missteps in shaping public opinion. In high-profile cases, it’s vital to have a lawyer who remains collected and focused amidst the occasional media storm.
Adaptability
With a big case often comes big opposition. Prosecutors may be much tougher, and could implement a strategy many attorneys would never see coming. But where other lawyers may falter, we adapt.
Jacqueline Goodman has over 20 years of experience. She has gone head-to-head against some of the region’s toughest prosecutors, and emerged victorious. Attorney Jacqueline Goodman is active in shaping California criminal law, which helps her stay one step ahead of the latest strategies the prosecution may implement in the courtroom.
Personal Attention
When so much is on the line, you can’t afford to have your case passed off to an associate or paralegal at a large firm. When you work with The Law Office of Jacqueline Goodman, you work with none other than Jacqueline Goodman herself during every step of your case. You will always receive the personal care you need to get through your case.
