High BAC DUI – Dod Law Aggressively Defends SoCal DUIs

High BAC DUI

Being charged with a High BAC DUI in California can carry serious and lasting consequences. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15% or higher is considered “high” under California law, and prosecutors often push for tougher penalties. However, BAC results are not always accurate — and with an experienced DUI attorney, you may have more defense options than you realize.

At Dod Law, we understand how much is at stake when facing a high BAC allegation. Our firm provides aggressive DUI defense for drivers throughout San Diego and Southern California, fighting to challenge the evidence, protect your license, and reduce or dismiss your charges.

What Is a High BAC DUI in California?

In most DUI cases, a driver is considered impaired if their BAC is 0.08% or higher. However, when the BAC reaches 0.15% or more, the case is treated as a “high BAC” DUI, triggering enhanced penalties and increased scrutiny by both the court and the DMV.

A high BAC charge can result from:

• A breath or blood test showing 0.15% or higher
• Multiple test results above the legal limit
• Accidents or reckless driving combined with a high test result
• Refusal to submit to chemical testing, with evidence suggesting intoxication

Even if you did blow a high number, the result might not tell the full story. Faulty testing devices, improper calibration, medical conditions, or police procedural errors can all lead to inflated or unreliable BAC readings.

Penalties for a High BAC DUI

California imposes tougher consequences for drivers convicted of a High BAC DUI. Depending on whether it’s your first or subsequent offense, you may face:

• Extended license suspension (up to one year or more)
• Increased jail time
• Mandatory DUI education program of up to 9 months
• Higher fines and court costs
• Ignition interlock device (IID) installation
• Probation conditions such as alcohol monitoring or community service

A High BAC DUI can also damage your professional reputation, increase insurance rates, and create long-term hardships. But with Dod Law, there are powerful defense strategies available that can protect you from the most severe outcomes.

How Dod Law Can Help

At Dod Law, we do not accept BAC results at face value. We know how testing errors, officer mistakes, and rights violations can make or break a case. Our aggressive DUI defense focuses on exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and securing the best possible result for every client.

We defend High BAC DUI cases by:

1. Challenging breath and blood test accuracy – Breathalyzers can give false readings due to calibration issues, medical conditions, or improper administration. Blood samples can be contaminated or mishandled in the lab.
2. Reviewing the legality of the traffic stop and arrest – If law enforcement did not have probable cause, the entire case may be dismissed.
3. Questioning police conduct and procedures – Officers must follow strict DUI protocols. Failure to do so can invalidate critical evidence.
4. Negotiating for reduced charges or penalties – In many cases, we can reduce a High BAC DUI to a standard DUI or even a “wet reckless” charge.
5. Handling your DMV hearing – We represent you before the California DMV to fight for your driving privileges and prevent automatic suspension.

Every High BAC DUI case is unique and why Dod Law provides personalized attention, meticulous investigation, and powerful courtroom advocacy from start to finish.
