Patricia Arquette’s husband, Thomas Jane, arrested for DUI in Los Angeles

In March of 2008 Thomas Jane, the actor married to “Medium” star Patricia Arquette, was arrested for a DUI in Los Angeles. This news was kept fairly quite because he hired a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney who knew how to manage both the Southern California DUI case, as well as the publicity that sometimes follows a celebrity crime arrest.

By hiring a pre-filing criminal defense attorney in Southern California you can increase your chances of successfully fighting your case. A Los Angeles DUI defense attorney, the actor is able to have his interests represented in an aggressive and sensitive manner.

The reason that anyone arrested for Southern California DUI should hire a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney is because the penalties are so severe in California. Even first time DUI convictions result in a jail sentence, a license suspension, a mandatory alcohol education course, huge fine to both the court and the alcohol programs. The person will also be on probation for a period of three years. During that probation period, if a Los Angeles DUI person is charged with another offense, then the court, on motion from of the prosecutor or the judge on its own motion, can institute a probation violation.

A probation violation does not require that a person is convicted of a new offense. Merely that they have violated the strict terms of probation. This can be used to revoke the probation and the person can face serious jail time. The court could even impose a full year in jail.
