Proven Defense for Drunk Driving Cases
In the state of California, DUI (driving under the influence) is a criminal offense that involves serious legal consequences. The mistake that too many people make after being charged with DUI is taking their charges lightly.
When a person has been charged with DUI, he/she needs to be aware that a conviction can lead to life-altering legal consequences such as:
- Monetary fines
- Jail time
- Probation
Additionally, a person may lose his/her driving privileges for a set period of time. With the legal penalties being so severe, it is never in a person’s best interest to make light of their DUI charges. Instead, people who have been charged with DUI need to place every effort into their defense, and that process begins with hiring the right DUI defense attorney.
You Only Have 10 Days!
If you do not act immediately, you could lose your right to drive.
Your Future Is on the Line
When you are arrested for DUI, the arresting officer will confiscate your driver’s license and give you a “notice of suspension” that will serve as a temporary license. California law requires you to choose between a breath or blood test if lawfully arrested.
If you failed to complete or declined/refused a breath test or blood test, the DMV will begin suspension proceedings starting on the 31st day after your arrest.
You must contact the DMV within 10 days of your arrest in order to challenge the suspension of your driver’s license, or it will be suspended regardless of the outcome of your case.
We handle making these arrangements for our clients.
The DMV hearing and your criminal case are two entirely separate parts to your DUI charges. Even if you are not found guilty of DUI, you could still lose your license depending upon how the DMV hearing goes.
