ChristianI was arrested for a DUI just recently, since Spanish is my first language, it was important to find a great attorney who was bilingual. Getting your first DUI can be extremely stressful, I was completely blinded when it came to handling this situation. I found many criminal defense attorneys online claiming they are the best. However, Armando Cespedes stood out to me, not only does he speaks Spanish but works for one of the best criminal defense law firms in Los Angeles. When I first spoke to him, I felt at ease being explained everything from A to Z. I decided to hire him to represent me with this DUI and I am so pleased with the results. His aggressiveness, knowledge, and experience with DUIs is what helped me retrieve my license license again. In the end, Armando Cespedes was able to get the DA to dismiss the DUI case. Attorney Armando most definitely did not over promise, he over delivered. 10/10 highly recommend his legal services to anyone fighting a DUI or criminal defense case.

JuanAttorney Armando Cespedes and his team helped me when I thought my whole life was over. This was my second DUI and this time someone got hurt, so I was sure I was going to jail. The public defender even told me I should expect serious time. But Mr. Cespedes never gave up on me. He explained everything in a way I could understand and walked me through every step so I didn’t feel alone or scared. Because of him, I didn’t do any jail time at all, and I can keep taking care of my family. I’m so grateful for him and his whole team. They treated me like a real person, not just a case. Me and my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Katelyn AlarconI was in a rough situation in high school and after failing my midterm I got drunk and decided to drive. Armando Cespedes helped me get my dui, criminal charge dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor. I only had to do a couple months of community service rather than 5 years in jail. My life really got turned around and now I can freely go to college and look for jobs without having a criminal record.

ConnieI was referred to Mr. Cespedes by a family friend who was very pleased with his legal services. Unfortunately, I got a DUI a few months ago and I was completely lost as to who to hire to represent me. As soon as I called Armando he gave me the information needed and most importantly was very honest. I almost lost my job due to this DUI because I drive for a living, and Mr. Cespedes was able to save my license. I am very glad I decided to hire this attorney, thank you Mr. Armando and your team.

DanielWords cannot describe how highly I recommend this law firm. Armando and Veronica are an amazing team. After being charged with a DUI, I was worried about the potential consequences on my career and personal life. From the moment I had my consultation to the very end, they were truly incredible. They kept me informed and reassured me every step of the way. They made sure that we were a step ahead of the court and did many of the necessary things needed to help my DUI case. They were constantly checking in on me, making sure I was doing well, while also staying up to date on everything needed. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, they were there to answer them and reassure me that everything would work out. Thanks to their hard work and effective strategy, my case was dismissed, and I am beyond grateful. If you are facing a DUI charge, this is the firm you want to work on your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any Questions?
What types of DUI cases do you handle?
We handle all types of DUI cases, including first-time DUIs, repeat DUIs (second, third, or fourth offenses), underage DUIs (drivers under 21), prescription drug DUIs, drug DUIs (DUIDs), DUIs with injuries, vehicular homicide, felony DUIs, refusal of chemical tests, navigation under the influence (BUIs), and commercial driver DUIs (CDLs). Every case is unique and deserves a customized strategy.
Do they offer free consultations and payment plans?
Yes. We evaluate your case free of charge and without obligation. We also offer flexible payment plans so you can access quality legal representation without worrying about paying everything at once. You can call us at (888) 309-3323 to schedule your free consultation.
Do they speak Spanish? Do they have bilingual staff?
Yes, we have a fully bilingual team that speaks your language and understands your culture. We specialize in advocating for the Hispanic community in Los Angeles and throughout California, so all communication, documentation, and services can be provided in Spanish.
Are they available outside of office hours or on weekends?
Yes, we are available 24/7 for emergencies. If you or a family member has been arrested, you can call us anytime. We also offer jail visits and accept collect calls so you can contact us even while in custody.
What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?
The most important thing is not to wait. The prosecution is already working on your case from the moment of your arrest, so you need an attorney working on yours as soon as possible. Contact us at (888) 309-3323 for a free and confidential consultation. The sooner you have a plan of action, the better your chances of reducing or dropping the charges.
What penalties do I face for a DUI in California?
Penalties vary depending on the circumstances of the case. A first-time DUI is generally a misdemeanor with fines, license suspension, and mandatory educational programs. A repeat DUI carries significantly more severe penalties and a higher likelihood of jail time. Cases involving injuries, vehicular homicide, or multiple prior convictions may be classified as felonies with serious consequences. Commercial drivers (CDLs) can lose their professional license even with a first offense. That’s why a personalized case evaluation is essential.
What is the legal blood alcohol limit in California?
0.08% BAC for drivers 21 and over. 0.04% for commercial drivers (CDL). 0.01% for drivers under 21 (zero tolerance). You can also be convicted under VC § 23152(a) for impaired driving even if BAC is below 0.08%.
Can I be arrested for DUI even if I’m not driving?
Yes, if you have “actual physical control” of the vehicle. This can include sitting in driver’s seat with keys in ignition, even if engine is off. However, we can challenge whether you were truly in control or driving.
