Our DUI defense law firm is available to answer your questions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We serve clients in Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County, and throughout Southern California and are ready to help you through this. There are a great many things we can do to defend a drunk driving case in court and to defend you in a DMV driver's license hearing.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT A SPECIFIC DUI TOPIC PLEASE CLICK ON ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

  • Did you receive a temporary driver's license from the arresting officer? You must contact the DMV within ten days of your arrest and request a DMV hearing to stop revocation of your driver's license. We can request the hearing and go with you, or even appear on your behalf if you cannot or prefer not to attend.
  • What was your blood alcohol content? The BAC is a strong factor in determining how you are charged. Your DUI lawyer will make sure the machine was accurately maintained and used.
  • Were you given a field sobriety test? The FST and all circumstances of your arrest are important for your drunk driving defense. We will challenge any evidence inappropriately obtained.
  • Do you understand the penalties for DUI drunk driving? You need to talk to a DUI lawyer who can explain the DUI penalties and defend you against the charges.
  • If you have been charged with felony DUI, you need the immediate advice and representation of an experienced DUI defense attorney. Felony DUI includes a DUI accident with injuries, vehicular manslaughter, or multiple DUI offenses.
  • Have you been charged with boating under the influence? A BUI charge can affect your driver's license and insurance rates just as a DUI does. Make sure you understand how the law will affect you.
  • Just because you were arrested for DUI drunk driving does not mean you are guilty. Contact an experienced DUI lawyer about the circumstances surrounding your arrest. You may be not guilty.
  • If there are DUI drug and/or alcohol problems that you need to deal with, our law firm can refer you to resources that can help you. There are many treatment and recovery programs available in California.
  • Please see our Penalties Page for the consequences of being caught for DUI.
