DUI Probation Violation Defense in El Cajon, CA

An alleged violation puts you back in front of the judge. We defend the violation and work to avoid jail or stricter terms.

The short answer. DUI probation comes with conditions. San Diego Superior Court materials list conditions that can include not driving with any measurable amount of alcohol in the blood and not refusing a chemical test if later arrested for DUI. A violation can bring possible jail exposure or stricter probation terms.

What You Are Facing

Once you are on DUI probation, rules that apply to other drivers may not apply to you. The roadside breath test, for example, may not be optional for a driver on DUI probation.
