William M. Weinberg, Attorney at Law, provides fearless DUI defense advocacy from his Irvine office at 19200 Von Karman Ave #380, Irvine, CA 92612. With over 30 years of experience, Weinberg represents clients throughout Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego Counties in all DUI matters, from first offenses to complex cases involving manslaughter, murder, drug DUIs, and reckless driving charges. His practice emphasizes that California DUI cases require comprehensive defense strategies, as they are criminal matters rather than mere administrative issues. Weinberg focuses on investigating constitutional and procedural violations that might support evidence suppression, particularly from illegal stops. He handles repeat DUI cases, explaining how penalties escalate during California’s 10-year lookback period, with enhanced consequences for aggravating factors like test refusals, high BAC levels, speeding while intoxicated, or having children under 14 in the vehicle. For DUI manslaughter cases, he clarifies the critical distinction between ordinary negligence (potentially a misdemeanor) and gross negligence (always a felony), as well as defending against “Watson murder” charges where prior DUI convictions can support second-degree murder charges.

Viles & Beckman, located at 1 2nd St N STE 228, Fargo, ND 58102, specializes in representing victims of DUI accidents in Cape Coral rather than defending DUI offenders. Their experienced personal injury attorneys explain that drunk driving accidents are particularly devastating because impaired drivers often fail to slow down before impact, causing severe injuries with long-lasting or permanent effects. The firm assists victims in identifying all potentially liable parties beyond the intoxicated driver, including other involved drivers, government organizations, vehicle manufacturers, trucking companies, and even alcoholic establishments under Florida’s dram shop law. They explain how Florida’s comparative negligence law allows victims to seek compensation even if partially responsible for the accident, with compensation reduced by their percentage of fault. Their attorneys help document both economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. With over $100 million recovered for clients, the firm offers free consultations and works on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay nothing unless they win. Call (239) 334-3933 for assistance with Cape Coral DUI accident claims.

With 42 years of experience, including 13 years as an Arapahoe Douglas County District Attorney Senior prosecutor, Steinberg provides specialized representation for DUI cases. His practice addresses the often overlooked insurance consequences of DUI convictions, explaining how Colorado requires SR22 insurance certification before license reinstatement, even for drivers who had valid insurance at the time of arrest. The firm outlines how different insurance companies respond to DUI convictions, categorizing them as conservative risk companies that may terminate coverage, moderate risk companies that accept DUI records at higher rates, or high risk companies that charge premium rates. Steinberg emphasizes the importance of shopping for insurance after a DUI to avoid unnecessarily high rates from high-risk insurers.
