  4. Clark, Gregory: Being charged with DUI for the first time is frightening and can be traumatic and emotionally stressful. The legal obstacles can be challenging and the consequences of a criminal conviction are severe. A conviction for driving under the influence in California can result in loss of driver's license, probation, court fees and fines, mandatory alcohol and drug rehabilitation and even jail time. Other factors such as causing an accident while intoxicated, driving with a suspended driver's license, having a high blood alcohol content or having a previous DUI conviction will increase the penalties. A first DUI can lead to harsh legal consequences and will likely impact many aspects of your life. However, being charged with a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th DUI is extremely serious and can lead to life impairing consequences if the offender is convicted of the charges. If you are in this situation, the consequences are far too severe to forego legal representation. It is also important for you to know that when arrested for DUI, you have a Court Case and a DMV Case, both of which are completely separate from one another. From the time of your arrest, you only have 10 DAYS to schedule your Administrative Hearing with the DMV, or you waive your right to a hearing. If you fail to request a hearing within 10 days, your driver’s license will automatically be suspended for a period of time determined by the California DMV. Therefore, you should contact an attorney immediately after your arrest. No matter what the outcome of the case may be it is in your interest to have legal representation to help you navigate thru this process, be that a plea negotiation or a trial.
  5. Beaver, Tom: If you are accused of a crime: Rule Number One: Don't say anything. Don't say you did it. Don't say you didn't do it. Don't say you were in Poughkeepsie. Don't try to talk your way out of it. It may surprise many good citizens to find out that, once an accusation is made against you, the resources of the government are focused on convicting you -- not finding the truth. What one might think would be exculpatory evidence can be used very effectively against a defendant. Consequently, whether or not the you are guilty, the first line of defense is to deny information to the prosecution and to get as much information as possible from them. Rule Number Two: Consult a lawyer. If you can qualify, use the Public Defender; they are criminal law specialists. If you don't qualify for a Public Defender, see me. I will defend you well or help you find a lawyer who will do it better. Rule Number Three: I'm not your judge. I will not lie or commit a crime or knowingly permit my clients to do so. Beyond that, I am on your side. I may be the only one who is. No one is as guilty as the prosecutor says they are. As far as the prosecution is concerned, my job is to "get you off." Between us, though, my job is to help you get out of trouble and to help you straighten out your own life. I am always on your side, but you will find me very annoying to deal with if I think you are using me to enable you to commit future criminal acts. As you might suspect, I am always asked "How can you defend a person that you know is guilty?" I always say, "Hell, that's easy. It's defending an innocent man that's frightening. It'll take years off your life!" Remember, criminal defense is expensive. It is time to bring your checkbook and to be prepared to make hard decisions. And, as I said, don't think that it's going to be easier (less expensive) because you are innocent. The first thing to spend your money on is getting out of custody. At 2:00 a.m., your best friend is your bail bondsman, not your lawyer. But call the lawyer as soon as you can.
  6. Bedore, Jess: Consequences of a Drunk Driving Conviction Law enforcement and prosecutors have stepped up their pursuit of driving under the influence charges, and the penalties for conviction can be harsh. Even if you are ultimately acquitted, you can lose your license for at least thirty days. If convicted, you may be prohibited from driving for four months, even with a first offense. Other consequences may include having an ignition interlock device placed on your car, paying a fine, completing a required driving program and possibly going to jail. There are enhanced penalties if you have been convicted of a prior DUI, if you refuse to take the BAC test, if you have a child in the car or if you have a blood alcohol content significantly higher than the legal limit. Enhanced penalties for multiple offenses can include higher fines, more jail time, longer license suspension and designation as a habitual offender.

  8. Travis Colby: DUI (driving under the influence) cases are serious business. In California, many individuals have been sentenced to life in prison for making this mistake. Whether it is a first time DUI or a felony DUI, how you handle the case will affect you for the rest of your life. It is important that you enlist the assistance of an experienced attorney who can protect your interests as effectively as possible.
