Prosecutors often charge a person with driving under the influence of drugs pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a). If you are accused of this crime it is critical you immediately retain an experienced DUI defense firm to represent you. This is because prosecutors often have a difficult time convicting a person of driving under the influence of prescription medication or illegal drugs since there is no precise “level” that is agreed upon when someone has consumed drugs or medication to make them “legally impaired”.

Since there are no “per se” levels in DUI-Drugs cases, the prosecution must prove “impairment.” A knowledgeable criminal defense attorney from Wallin & Klarich understands that the mere presence of prescription drugs in one’s blood is of little value to the prosecution because it does not necessarily prove impairment.
