Los Angeles Drunk Driving Defense Attorneys

Alternative Sentencing

The Law Offices of Lawrence Wolf have been helping individuals charged with drunk driving crimes for over 30 years. Mr. Wolf has both prosecuted and defended thousands of adults and juveniles charged with DUI, license suspension, drunk driving, driving while intoxicated and vehicular manslaughter crimes. Lawrence Wolf has been a pioneer in developing all forms of alternative sentencing such as house arrest and diversionary programs. He has established relationships with Judges and District Attorneys throughout Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties.

Your arrest depends on what the police see, hear and do but your freedom can depend on your drunk driving defense attorney.

Jail time is not always the right sentence and many judges will agree that alternative methods of punishment will benefit all concerned far more than traditional methods of incarceration. There are some alternative forms of punishment that a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney experienced in DUI law will recommend. Some examples of alternative sentencing are as follows:

Rehabilitation facilities
Often driving while under the influence is a chronic problem and not likely to be addressed in jail. You may be sentenced to a pre-determined amount of time in a qualified drug or alcohol rehabilitation center and required to submit to regular alcohol and/or drug screening tests throughout your probation period.

Sober Living Houses
You will live in a sober living house at which time you will commit to staying sober throughout your stay and partake in drug and rehabilitation counseling programs.

Electronic monitoring
You will continue to go to school or your place of employment and you will be able to return home each day but you must adhere to specific rules determined by the court. (ie: home by 7:00 p.m. each day). You will wear an electronic monitoring device that will notify law enforcement personnel if you have deviated from the specified restrictions.

Work release
The probation department will send you to work each day at a place that has been chosen by them, but you will be able to return to your home each evening.

Work Furlough
You are allowed to continue to go to your current place of employment but you will go to a court authorized facility at night.

Alternative jails
The prison system is comprised of different types of jails. Since your conviction is not considered as extreme as someone who has (for example) been convicted of manslaughter, you may be sent to a correctional facility that is more lenient than traditional jails.
