San Diego DUI Lawyer
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
In the state of California, people who drive after taking drugs, whether legally or illegally, can face an arrest for the charge of driving under the influence of drugs, or DUID. It is prosecuted in a similar manner as crimes involving driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol.
DUIs are serious offenses that can result in severe repercussions if convicted. It is imperative to retain the legal assistance of an aggressive and informative attorney. The San Diego drug offense lawyer from my firm can provide clients with the information necessary to successfully navigate the charges against them.
My firm can fight the case from beginning to end. During a free case evaluation, I can take the time to understand your objectives and discuss any alternatives to incarceration that may be available. DUID cases can be difficult to defend because the tests are not as straightforward as they are for those charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
No legal limit for drugs in a person's system is set to indicate whether an individual is too impaired to drive and, therefore, the prosecutor must prove that the defendant is guilty based on circumstantial evidence in addition to test results. With a thorough investigation of your case, I can help you achieve the verdict you hope to obtain.
California's Implied Consent Law
If you have been arrested in a case that involves driving under the influence of drugs, you will be required to adhere to California's implied consent law. This law requires that you submit to a chemical test, whether in the form of a blood test, breath test or urine test. In a DUID case, the urine test is most common.
Failure to submit to a chemical test will result in a license suspension of one year. An arrest for driving under the influence of drugs can alter your life, which is why it is imperative to obtain legal assistance from Kern Law, APC.

“Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!! This man made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very communicative, extremely thorough, consistent, relentless, and has a solid rapport with the courts. I have a long felony criminal history, and came to Michael with 12 new felony charges, accompanied by 3 misdemeanors. Before meeting Michael, I was feeling defeated by the odds being stacked against me. But he gave me hope, fought hard for my freedom, and got me the exact outcome I came to him hoping to leave with. I'm a 3rd striker, and Michael was able to get my strikes struck, and get me probation! Me and my family are so grateful to him. He saved my life! Thank you Mr.Kern!!”- Jesse M.

“Choosing an attorney to represent you during one of the most stressful times of your life can be daunting. Your life might literally be in the hands of the lawyer you choose. For that reason, I'm writing this review. Mr. Kern stood up for me in court, and absolutely embarrassed the other side. He had deep knowledge of the law. He didn't waste any time, sticking only to the relevant information. With all the calm and cool that you would hope to expect he shut down the case, and had it dismissed. Without his remarkable knowledge of the law and the natural confident presentation I don't know what I'd be doing right now. This man is good, real good. I highly recommend Mr. Kern.”- C. Lundy
