The Law Office of Lee A. McCoy

"Drinking & driving is not a crime in Santa Barbara."

In fact, adults may drink and drive legally in all fifty states, so long as they don't drive impaired or with a blood alcohol level above 0.08%. Unfortunately, many people are arrested for DUI when all they really did was drive after drinking.

That's why we're here. We are a law firm dedicated to defending citizens of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties by shattering the myths that for so long have led to the conviction of innocent drivers. We use real science and established police standards to show how easily someone may be wrongfully accused.
