Davis
- Ken Wimer:
Unless you request a hearing from the Department of Motor Vehicles
within 10 days, your license will be suspended and you will not be
allowed to have a hearing. You must phone now and schedule your
hearing. If you do phone and set up your hearing within the 10 days,
and if they are unable to set up your hearing within the 30 days
immediately after your arrest, then you will be able to keep your
license until after the hearing even if they schedule you 4 months
away. Always request a hearing in person, rather than by telephone.
Diamond Bar
David
Flader:
If you have just been arrested for Driving Under the Influence
(DUI)/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) for the first time, you may feel
uncertain about the resulting court proceedings. Unfamiliar with the
criminal justice system, you may consider having a friend of a friend
or your familys lawyer represent you on the charges. This may be a
critical mistake. DUI/DWI law can be quite complex. Furthermore, the
stakes are higheven as a first time offender, you may face hefty fines,
probation, revocation of your license and a dramatic rise in your
automobile insurance rates. You may even be sentenced to some jail
time. Therefore, it is important to hire a defense attorney who has
experience in this area of law.
Downey
- Robert Jacobs:
Non-citizens must hire a criminal defense attorney who also understands the complex immigration laws to either negotiate a plea bargain that will negate or minimize any adverse immigration consequences or fight for an outright acquittal to prevent mandatory deportation and permanent exclusion from the United States.
- Felipe
Plascencia:
You can be arrested for DUI by driving while over the legal BAC in your
state or while impaired. But, you need not actually operate the car in
order to be arrested. You can still be found guilty if you had the
capability and power to dominate, direct, or regulate the vehicle,
regardless of whether you were exercising that capability or power at
the time of the arrest. In other words, simply sitting behind the wheel
with the keys in the ignition can lead to your arrest for DUI by being
in actual physical control of the car.
El Cajon - Gary Brown:
In California, the legislature (courts, laws) is (are) getting
increasingly more strict with individuals convicted of drunk driving.
If you have just been arrested for Driving Under the Influence
(DUI)/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) (the term is DUI in California),
for the first time, you may feel uncertain about the resulting court
proceedings. Unfamiliar with the criminal justice system, you may
consider having a "friend of a friend" or your family's lawyer
represent you on the charges. This may be a critical mistake. DUI/DWI
law in California can be quite complex. Furthermore, the stakes are
high-even as a first time offender, you may face hefty fines,
probation, revocation of your license and a dramatic rise in your
automobile insurance rates. You may even be sentenced to some jail
time. Therefore, it is important to hire a defense attorney who has
experience in this area of law. Often or not first offenders readily
agree to plead guilty to get the matter behind them, only to find out
later that the consequences are more sever and longer lasting then
expected.
