Beverly Hills Criminal Defense Attorney

The Beverly Hills Court serves West Hollywood and what is known as the “west side” of Los Angeles County. The Beverly Hills Police Department is well known for their “zero-tolerance” policy and strict enforcement of drunk driving laws. The Goldstein Law Group has two generations of experience in defending clients charged with DUI in Beverly Hills. In a recent DUI case, attorney Michael A. Goldstein represented his client who works for a local professional sports team. His client was charged with a felony DUI following an auto v. motorcycle traffic accident. The Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office filed a GBI (great bodily injury) allegation which mandates a 3 year consecutive prison sentence. According to the arrest report, the victim was dragged approximately 60 feet before paramedics removed him from under the client’s vehicle. He was then rushed to the hospital with a collapsed lung and required several skin grafts. With a blood alcohol level of .23, Michael was left with little to work with. His client declined the initial offer of 5 years in state prison. During Michael’s cross-examination of the victim at the preliminary hearing, the victim admitted that his personal injury attorney, who was also present in court, had advised him what to testify to regarding his injuries. Following this hearing, the District Attorney agreed to dismiss the GBI allegation and Michael negotiated a probationary plea deal, including one weekend in private jail in addition to a period of community service. Consequently, his client retained her job and will earn a misdemeanor during the term of probation.
