Stephanie Pratt is going to need the help of a good DUI attorney in Van Nuys.  She was pulled over for driving under the influence at approximately 3:45 am last Sunday.  Pratt is 23 and has been arrested before.  Even though she’s a Hollywood celebrity of sorts a DUI conviction could cause her a lot of anguish.  The penalties surrounding a DUI are meant to disrupt a person’s life.  In Stephanie’s situation, a fine might not be a big deal but going to classes on a weekly basis and having her license suspended will definitely cramp her style.

A DUI conviction for the average person is a serious life altering event.  Your driving privileges will most likely be revoked for a period of time and you must rely on others to take you from place to place.  If you try to cheat the system and drive anyway, you risk even further penalties.  Even if you think you’re fine, it’s best to call a cab or even rent a hotel room for the night.
