Wondering how to defend a DUI? 1.800.NoCuffs attorney Darren Kavinoky appears on The Woody Show. The Woody Show airs on 98.7 FM in the Los Angeles area (or fans can listen to the show iHeart Radio online).
Darren Kavinoky is a sponsor of The Woody Show and appeared on the popular morning show to give his legal advice on how to defend a DUI arrest, which is “the most popular arrest.” (Kavinoky). DUI stands for Driving Under the Influence.
Says Kavinoky, “People need to know–that you can be impaired whether you are drinking something legal or illegal, prescribed or not prescribed. If it causes you to be unable to drive with the caution characteristic of a sober person of ordinary prudence under the same or similar circumstances (that’s the legal blah blah), then you can be arrested for DUI. So that includes your medically recommended weed.”

The Woody Show Asks Darren Kavinoky How to Defend a DUI
The Woody Show, “I’m gonna give you some of these stories in the news..I think to myself man I would just hang up. I wouldn’t even defend these people.”
Attorney Darren Kavinoky weighs in with his comments on “how to” defend the “odd” headlines in the news. The key legal take away from the lawyer?
- “When you voluntarily take a substance, then you can’t later say, “Oh, I was so out of my mind as the result of my voluntary intoxication that now I can’t be held responsible for what I’m doing. So if you’re doing it consciously then you’re screwed from using that as your defense.”
When asked how to defend a female who was arrested for a second DUI, Kavinoky says, “Spoiler alert, sometimes when the handcuffs go on, windows of opportunity open for individuals to get introspective about changing their lives. And this may be somebody where the best thing to do given what sounds like overwhelming evidence of driving under the influence. Let’s say that they’ve got this woman…we’ll maybe we need to talk about making sure that this person is not a repeat customer of the justice system. And so, I don’t know, how about either rehab or counseling or something because ultimately, and this is my rant, I’m sorry. This is the thing that I think is fundamentally broken in our justice system. We lock people up for taking an action like driving drunk, holding up the 7-Eleven, whatever it is, but we warehouse these people with people that have the same broken thinking mechanism that caused them to take that action in the first place and we do very little to help address that underlying thought problem that leads people to take these broken actions. I would say, in this situation, let’s get this lady some help. …Maybe I’m the crazy one, but I like to leave people better off than when we found them.”
