There are no "safe harbors" -- easygoing jurisdictions -- when it comes to DUI prosecutions in Orange County.  Mothers Against Drunk Driving started in Orange County, and the lobby assesses there are thousands of arrests, injuries and deaths here annually, the result of alcohol-impaired or -related driving. Orange County DUI Lawyers know the conservative, punitive nature of Court and Prosecutors behind "The Orange Curtain," and that the Harbor Justice Center on Jamboree in Newport Beach is not a "harbor" you sail your DUI defense into carelessly.  There, dismissals and reductions to lesser offenses are given stingily, "home arrest" is accomplished uncommonly, 45 to 90 days jail on repeat offenses is imposed typically, and disdain for the arrested first offender is spread around daily.  Stronger ships have cracked up on lesser reefs than this.

To maintain the maritime metaphor, the only captain you can trust to guide you through the Rock and Hard Place of the Harbor/ Newport Beach Court is your selected Newport Beach DUI Attorney.  He knows the smoothest waters here -- which Judges and Prosecutors have the verve to consider rehab over punishment and technical and diplomatic defenses and considerations over political (MADD) party lines. He knows the players, and has regular and ongoing experience settling cases at the court.
