Pasadena DUI with Injuries Lawyers
Fierce Advocacy for Southern California Drivers
No one intends to hurt anyone when they get behind the wheel. When you have had one too many drinks, you might make a poor decision to try and drive home. Your altered state will make it tougher to keep your eyes on the road and obey traffic laws, potentially resulting in a crash. Driving under the influence is a serious offense on its own, but when your DUI also causes injuries to others, you can face even harsher consequences.
If you are being charged with DUI-causing injuries in California, you need legal representation that understands the intricacies of the laws involved. Our Pasadena DUI with injuries lawyers at Hutton & Khalaf are committed to defending you and your rights. We have handled tens of thousands of DUI cases and will do everything possible to protect you and your future.
Do not face a DUI with injuries charge alone. Call (626) 397-9700 or contact us online to get experienced legal support.
What are the Penalties for a DUI in California?
You are charged with a “simple DUI” when you are arrested for driving under the influence and no aggravating circumstances are involved. This can occur if you are pulled over for failing to obey some rule of the road but have not caused any injury to another motorist or passenger.
A first-time, simple DUI conviction in California can result in significant consequences, including:
- Up to 6 months in jail
- Base fines of up to $1,000 plus penalty assessments
- License suspension of up to 6 months
- 4-month administrative suspension
- Up to 5 years of probation, including mandatory DUI courses
What are the Penalties for a DUI with Injuries?
When a DUI involves a collision with injuries to others, you will be subject to additional charges and penalties if convicted. DUIs with injuries can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the severity of the damages. Many of the injury-related consequences can also be levied in addition to penalties stemming from the base DUI charge.

"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.- E.W. -
"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.- A.A.
