Pasadena DUI Alternative Sentencing Lawyer

Harsh Punishment is Not the Only Option

If you have already been convicted of DUI in Los Angeles or if pleading guilty is in your best interests, our DUI defense attorneys at Hutton & Khalaf have the experience to help you qualify for alternative sentences. We fight aggressively to help keep you from being convicted, but we can also protect your best interests even if conviction is unavoidable. If you were arrested and charged with DUI anywhere in Los Angeles or Southern California, you can reach out to us for the defense you need.

Qualifying for an Alternative Sentence After a DUI Conviction

Alternative sentences are available if you are convicted of a DUI in California. The state and the various counties in the Los Angeles area have programs available for people charged with multiple DUIs if those charges have occurred over a relatively short period of time. Punishing you for an alcohol or substance abuse problem does not serve anyone's best interests. By sending you to jail, you may not be getting the help you need. Furthermore, incarcerating you costs the state a substantial amount of money.

Some of the alternative sentences available include:

  • Diversion programs
  • Sobriety programs
  • AA meetings
  • Sober living
  • Community service 

We can handle your case. Tell us about your situation. CALL (626) 397-9700 for a free and confidential case review.

  • "Mark Khalaf doesn’t just take on cases; he fights for his clients."
    I cannot recommend the Hutton & Khalaf Law Firm, and specifically Attorney Mark Khalaf, highly enough! From the moment I contacted the firm, I was impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and deep knowledge of the legal system. Mark Khalaf is a true expert, particularly when it comes to DUI cases.

    When I initially faced charges, I felt hopeless. The situation seemed almost impossible to navigate, and I feared the worst outcome. However, Mark’s experience and unwavering persistence in court completely turned things around. He handled my case with exceptional skill, leaving no stone unturned.

    Through his thorough understanding of DUI law and his strategic approach, Mark was able to get my charges reduced—something I never thought would be possible when I first walked into his office. His attention to detail, combined with his experience in court, made all the difference.

    Mark Khalaf doesn’t just take on cases; he fights for his clients. If you're looking for an attorney who will go above and beyond to protect your rights and ensure the best possible outcome, Mark Khalaf at Hutton & Khalaf is the one to trust.

  • "The referral to hire Mark was the best thing that could of happened to me."
    I got a DUI a while back and I wanted to make sure it was handled properly. I was referred to a few people, but two different people (one of them being a deputy sheriff) said Mark Khalaf was the best dui attorney. They said he specializes in DUIs and he's considered the best in Los Angeles. So I met with him. Let me just say, I could immediately tell the difference between him and the other two attorneys I met with. He knew everything.

    I hired him and he handled my case. He made a bunch of appearances and handled my case for nearly a year...and he never asked for more money. Finally, he got my case reduced and got me a "wet reckless".

    The referral to hire Mark was the best thing that could of happened to me. I'm so happy I hired him.
