Change begins with you making a choice to change and that starts with being humble enough to realize that the events of your life are the direct product of your belief system and decisions.

If you live in San Jose, you already know just about the last thing you want is a DUI. California laws have gotten so strict that a DUI can lead to serious fines, felony convictions, and a lot of jail time. Those are life experiences that no one wants to have.

They may try to convince you not to request an attorney, and I have even heard of cases where the officers involved have threatened...more
