DUI Defense

Expert DUI defense including DMV hearings, license protection, and criminal court representation

Important: You Have Only 10 Days!

After a DUI arrest, you have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing to prevent automatic license suspension. Contact us immediately to protect your driving privileges.

Comprehensive DUI Defense

A DUI arrest triggers two separate legal proceedings: a criminal court case and a DMV administrative hearing. Both require immediate attention and skilled legal representation.

Our office has extensive experience defending clients against DUI charges, challenging breathalyzer and field sobriety tests, fighting license suspensions at DMV hearings, and negotiating reduced charges.

We understand that a DUI conviction can affect your employment, insurance rates, driving privileges, and future opportunities. We fight aggressively to protect your rights and minimize the impact on your life.

Defense for first-time DUI arrests, minimizing penalties and protecting your driving record.

Our DUI Defense Strategy

Challenge Test Results

We examine breathalyzer calibration, blood test procedures, field sobriety test administration, and chain of custody issues.

Analyze Police Conduct

We scrutinize the traffic stop legality, arrest procedures, Miranda warnings, and officer testimony for procedural violations.

DMV Hearing Representation

We fight to save your license at DMV hearings, cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence to prevent suspension.

Negotiate Alternatives

We pursue reduced charges like wet reckless, alternative sentencing, and programs that minimize impact on your record.

California DUI Penalties

First-time DUI convictions in California can include:

3-5 years probation
$1,800+ in fines and penalties
3-9 month DUI education program
6-month license suspension
Possible jail time (up to 6 months)
SR-22 insurance requirement
Installation of ignition interlock device

Penalties increase significantly for repeat offenses, high BAC, accidents, or injuries. An experienced DUI attorney can often reduce or eliminate many of these penalties.
