California DUI Defense

A large part of our criminal practice focuses on DUI defense. California has some of the strictest laws in the country regarding drunk driving (DUI or Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs).   Prompt action can have a significant impact on a successful defense. For example, there is a 10-day deadline for calling the California DMV to request a hearing on your license suspension and to get an extension of your temporary license.

We understand the urgency and importance of your DUI case.  Because so much of our practice is focused on DUI representation, our fee is competitive.  Also, we normally order your police report and set up your DMV hearing the same day you hire us.  This goes a long way with our clients, who are normally anxious to see the report, which contains the police accusations and blood results. 

Our defense lawyers also regularly appear in court on our clients’ behalf, thus saving them valuable work time, not to mention embarrassment.  Most of our DUI clients are first-timers, and we vigorously defend them.  Further, most of our new DUI clients come as a referral from satisfied clients who were in the same predicament and were pleased with our office and results.  A vigorous and complete defense also gains us respect with district attorneys and judges, in addition to the referrals we receive from happy clients. 

California law states that:

  • Blood alcohol concentration illegal limit is 0.08%
  • A first offense can result in an administration license suspension for 6 months
  • Driving privileges (to and from work for example) can be restored after 30 days
  • Penalties include interlock & forfeiture (seize your car and sell it)
  • Both drivers and passengers are not permitted to have an open container of alcohol

A DUI charge has a criminal component and an administrative component before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  For both you’ll need a skilled criminal defense attorney. For your convenience, we have provided an in-depth overview of DUI information and some Criminal Defense FAQs  on this website.
