Pleasanton, CA - Drivers in California found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08%+ or under the influence of a drug are arrested and charged with DUI. In Alameda or Contra Costa County, individuals have ten days to request an administrative hearing, giving them a chance to dispute their automatic license suspension. From there, the criminal component of their charges begins shortly. DUI penalties vary depending on the severity of the offense and whether the driver has previous convictions. However, the general consequences are fines, jail/prison time, community service, suspended/revoked driver’s license, increased auto insurance, and an ignition interlock device.

Financially, physically, or emotionally assaulting anyone over 65 years old results in elder abuse charges in California. Additionally, certain groups and professionals like nursing homes, clergy, hospitals, law enforcement personnel, and employees of adult protective services must report suspected elder abuse cases. Elder abuse penalties depend on the extent of the crime, the victim’s age, and the defendant’s criminal record. Anyone convicted of elder abuse may receive counseling as a probation condition, requiring them to attend regular meetings or a criminal protective order (restraining order) to protect elderly victims from further threats/violence.
As a veteran Bay Area elder abuse lawyer, Lynn Gorelick understands how to approach each case’s facts using several defenses. She may prove that another person was responsible for the injuries, the injuries were accidental, a family member falsely claimed abuse to get control of the elderly family member’s finances, or the victim didn’t suffer any injury/harm.
