Arrests and Associated Costs
There were nearly 40,000 DUI arrests in Los Angeles County in the calendar year of 2003. Regardless of the ultimate outcome of each case, every situation carried with it the following costs:
- Law Enforcement Costs
- Legal Fees
- Custody and Supervision
When all of these costs associated with a Los Angeles DUI are compiled, nearly $650 Million is spent on this legal issue alone per year. This number does not include the added costs of insurance and/or additional transportation/logistical issues that arise when a driver’s license is suspended.
The Los Angeles DUI Attorney “Marketplace”
Given the size of Los Angeles County, one should not be surprised to find that over 1,100 law firms advertise themselves as handling either criminal defense or Los Angeles DUI defense cases. However, less than 10% of these firms actually handle DUI defense cases exclusively. The point to be taken with this information is simply that you, as a defendant, simply cannot afford, both literally and figuratively, to trust your future with a firm that will handle a DUI defense case if it happens to “come in the door.” You need to put your future in the hands of Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys who have represented clients in hundreds of DUI trials and thousands of DUI matters, but still take the time to treat each case and client as an important individual.
