DUI and DWI are serious criminal charges and we recommend that no one represent themselves in such a matter. Driving under the influence, or DUI, means driving or operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. It is usually a misdemeanor. This offense can also be defined as a DWI, or driving while intoxicated, or an OWI meaning operating while intoxicated. All three charges are punishable to differing degrees depending on California's laws and the judge's criteria. Should you be charged with a DUI, DWI, or OUI we recommend you seek legal counsel as soon as possible in order to reduce, or possibly eliminate the long-term impact these charges will have on your life.
