Arrested for DUI?
A DUI arrest is a very serious matter. Any DUI conviction can result in jail time, loss of driving privileges, ignition interlock requirements, increased insurance rates, employment consequences, and financial uncertainty.
California DUI law is one of the most complex areas of criminal law in the State of California. Defending a DUI case requires expertise in the law. More important, defending a DUI case successfully requires expertise in the procedures that relate to DUI investigations and the scientific issues that surround blood and breath testing for alcohol, prescription medications and drugs. You need an expert in DUI defense to defend your case.

Did you know that a sizable percentage of all DUI arrests in California end up in something other than a DUI conviction?
When Arrested for DUI, there are Two Independent Proceedings that You Must Deal With.
First, the DMV will act to suspend your driver license. You only have 10 days to request a DMV hearing. This hearing will determine the outcome of your driver license. If you fail to request a hearing within the first 10 days, you will waive your right to contest the suspension of your driver license, even if you are not guilty of DUI. Although the DMV hearing is separate and independent of the Court case, it is an important part of the DUI defense process.
Second, the District Attorney will file charges in Court having the goal to punish you for violating the law. It is essential to have a strong and effective defense strategy if you want to get the best resolution for your DUI case. In short, all the evidence related to the DUI investigation and chemical tests must be gathered and analyzed. Finding problems with the government’s evidence against you is crucial.
A thorough and effective DUI defense begins as soon as you have been arrested. There are issues and defenses that may not be obvious to lawyers that lack expertise. You need a lawyer that is dedicated and is an expert in DUI defense. In addition, you need a lawyer with a track record for success in resolving DUI cases to minimize the damage to your life and future.
