In an ideal world, Burbank DUI arrests would never happen. But we don’t live in an ideal world. Far from it. Instead, we live in a world in which Burbank DUIs are all too pervasive. What’s more, prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, police, and the public all operate with false beliefs…
In a post earlier this week, we talked about how Burbank DUI prevention theory is stuck. Law enforcement agents, politicians, and even defense attorneys and defendants in LA all often assume that they understand why DUIs occur and what needs to be done to prevent them. For instance, if you…
Per TMZ, Judge Stephanie Sautner recently told Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan: “keep doing what you’re doing… you appear to be doing very well.” It’s a shocking turn of events for anyone who has followed Lohan’s Los Angeles DUI saga, an epic tale that is nearly five years old at…

Most people believe, without a shred of a doubt, that “a Burbank DUI would never happen to me… or anyone I respect.” This kind of thinking is understandable. After all, DUIs are only something that careless celebrities and recidivist alcoholics get. Right? Think again. In fact, the diversity of Burbank…
According to California Highway Patrol estimates, 248 motorists were arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence in Burbank and elsewhere in Los Angeles over the New Year’s “holiday crackdown” period.

While West Hollywood DUI rates over the New Year’s Eve weekend spiked nearly 10% from the 2011 numbers for the same weekend last year, WeHo residents were extremely distracted from the fireworks, celebrations, and festivities by a rampaging arsonist.
