San Fernando DUI Attorney

San Fernando, a city to the north west of Los Angeles, is completely surrounded by Los Angeles city itself.  In the 1910’s, the surrounding towns in the San Fernando Valley agreed to become part of Los Angeles city so as to benefit from the water supplied by Los Angeles Aqueduct.  San Fernando, sitting on a rich groundwater supply, opted to remain independent and has retained that independence throughout the ensuing decades.San Fernando, a city to the north west of Los Angeles, is completely surrounded by Los Angeles city itself.  In the 1910’s, the surrounding towns in the San Fernando Valley agreed to become part of Los Angeles city so as to benefit from the water supplied by Los Angeles Aqueduct.  San Fernando, sitting on a rich groundwater supply, opted to remain independent and has retained that independence throughout the ensuing decades.
