 The city of Burbank is a popular destination for tourists visiting local attractions, the great malls, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.  With these popular entertainment locations come the police stopping and arresting drinking drivers and those who they consider to be impaired by the use of drugs.

Burbank California is located right off Interstate 5 and is part of the Los Angeles CA Superior Court jurisdiction.  DUI charges in the local Burbank Court are perhaps the most prevalent of all criminal offenses.  The second in line after driving under the influence is the allegation of being drunk in public and thereafter the possession of drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and prescription pills such as Vicodin, Oxycontin, Percocet and other prescription pain killers.  Local law enforcement ensnare many by the use of sobriety checkpoints and vigorous traffic patrol within the city.

The fact is that Burbank police officers have an extremely aggressive attitude towards DUI, DWI and drunk driving and some will say that they will very often engage in questionable practices to stop and arrest those suspected to be driving under the influence.  As local Burbank DUI Criminal Defense Attorneys we see the abuse that is perpetrated upon our clients and strive to vindicate precious Constitutional rights that are infringed upon by law enforcement.

An arrest for a Burbank DUI triggers two very important legal actions.  The first is the DMV suspension that is initiated by the police or CHP in Burbank when an accused license in confiscated and the individual is served with a notice of license suspension as reflected on the pink piece of paper given to the arrestee upon release from jail.

From a legal perspective, a driving under the influence charge mandates the City Attorney in Burbank to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person pulled over is either too impaired to drive or has a blood alcohol level that exceeds the California state per se level of .08%.  This is usually initiated by the filing of a formal criminal complaint alleging a violation of two distinct counts or charges.  One, is the Vehicle Code section 23152(a) which is common law DUI or driving under the influence.  Two, is the Vehicle Code 23152(b) which is the per se driving with a blood alcohol level of above a .08 percent.  The criminal division of the Burbank City Attorneys office aggressively pursues these types of charges.

The other action is known as the DMV administrative aspect of the case.  This process begins when the Burbank Law enforcement agency transmits the suspension paperwork to the Driver safety Division of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.  Once in their possession the DMV will commence a prosecution of the suspension of the individual's driving privilege that can be as short as four months and as long as three years.  With regard to the DMV suspension, a Burbank DUI Attorney is crucial to avoiding the loss of license following the arrest for driving under the influence.
