Senator Ben Hueso Charged with DUI, Showing Once Again That DUI Arrests Can Happen to Anyone

September 10, 2014

On September 8, 2014, California State Senator Ben Hueso was formally charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence of alcohol. The charges stem from an arrest that occurred on August 22 when officers observed Senator Hueso driving the wrong way on 15th Street near X Street in Sacramento. The officers state that Senator Hueso showed “objective signs and symptoms” of being under the influence of alcohol and administered a field sobriety test on him.

Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol can happen to anyone. People often ask me why I practice DUI defense. Simply put, DUI’s are one of those small subset of crimes that cut across all socioeconomic levels, from lower class people to high-profile celebrities and even senators.

We’ve all heard the stories of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan or Justin Bieber getting arrested for DUI’s. With Senator Hueso’s DUI arrest, these incidents further prove that it doesn’t matter how rich or poor, how smart or dumb or even educated a person is–DUI’s can happen to anyone.

And being that DUI arrests occur at all echelons of society, every person accused deserves due process and the best defense possible, not just the rich and famous.

I have no doubt that Senator Hueso has already hired legal counsel, as you should too if you are charged with a DUI. Contact me at The Tabo Law Firm today at (916) 504-2660 to set up a free consultation, and let us help you make sure you get your due process–fairness that you deserve just like Senator Hueso or anyone else accused of this crime.

The Importance Of Enforceable Prenuptial Agreements in California

March 7, 2025
Entering into marriage is one of life’s most significant decisions, and having a well-prepared prenuptial agreement can offer a layer of security and clarity for both partners. However, it’s crucial to recognize that not all prenups are enforceable in California. Without meeting specific legal requirements, your agreement may be deemed invalid, potentially leading to complicated and costly legal battles in the event of a divorce.  In our latest video, we explore the essential elements that make a prenuptial agreement valid under California law—ranging from proper timing and full financial disclosure to the requirement that both parties have independent legal counsel. Understanding these requirements is not just about protecting your assets; it’s about ensuring your agreement reflects fairness and transparency, preventing potential challenges in court.

Why You Can’t Waive Child Support in a Prenup

By The Tabo Law Firm • January 29, 2025
At The Tabo Law Firm, we know how important it is to protect your interests with a strong, enforceable premarital agreement. But when it comes to child support, there’s one thing you absolutely cannot do: waive it. California law makes it clear—child support is always modifiable based on change in circumstances. You can’t use a prenup to eliminate or limit this right because child support is designed to protect the best interests of the child, not the parents. Including provisions that violate this law will render your agreement unenforceable. When drafting premarital agreements, enforceability is our top priority. We ensure that every provision complies with California law, so your agreement stands up in court. Including anything illegal, such as an attempt to waive child support, undermines the entire contract and risks getting it thrown out. If you're considering a prenup, don’t leave its enforceability to chance. At The Tabo Law Firm, we specialize in crafting agreements that protect your interests while standing firm under California law. Call us today at 916-866-8856 to schedule a consultation and ensure your premarital agreement is legally sound and enforceable. Don’t risk your future—let’s secure it together!
