A DUI drunk driving charge or a BUI (boating under the influence) charge in California can severely limit and complicate your life.

  • DUI penalties can result in fines, jail time, mandatory classes, and alcohol treatment as well as a criminal record that can be embarrassing when looking for a job, applying for a professional license, or applying for an educational opportunity.
  • The automatic California DMV driver license suspension will begin thirty days after the DUI arrest unless a hearing is requested within ten days! Your DUI defense lawyer can request that hearing, represent you at the DMV hearing, and help you keep your driving privileges.
  • Your California DUI lawyer can investigate your DUI arrest and challenge the evidence. As former deputy district attorneys, we know how to question the field sobriety tests and the results of breathalyzer and BAC (blood alcohol content) tests. We will look at all the circumstances of what happened before, during, and after your DUI arrest.
  • We want to put your DUI drunk driving charge behind you with as few consequences as possible. If the evidence simply does not support the charge, your DUI attorney can move to have the charge dismissed. Depending on circumstances, the driving drunk charge might be reduced or the consequences might be less than usual. Make sure you have a DUI defense lawyer with the experience to know and present all your options.

If you have been arrested for DUI drunk driving, do not talk to anyone until you have talked to a California DUI lawyer at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP. We are all former deputy district attorneys and we are all on your side. Our DUI defense lawyers are ready to protect your rights and develop your defense strategy.

  • DMV Hearing: Do not take a chance on losing your license because of your DUI arrest. Learn why YOU MUST CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY to request a DMV hearing within ten days TO STOP THE AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION OF YOUR DRIVER LICENSE!
  • BAC: How does your blood alcohol level affect your case? Blood alcohol levels vary widely over short periods of time.
  • Field Sobriety Tests: Did you do a Field Sobriety Test before you were arrested? How will those test results affect your case? Were you sick, injured or disabled when you attempted to perform the FST’s? If so, even having a cold can adversely affect your performance on the field sobriety tests!
  • DUI Penalties: As your DUI lawyer, we will fight hard to keep you from paying the severe DUI penalties. However, if you are convicted, we can explain how the DUI penalties can best be handled with the minimum affect on you, your job and your ability to drive. BUI: A BUI or boating under the influence charge has similar penalties to a DUI. Call us to talk to a BUI defense lawyer. The DUI and BUI penalties vary widely from Orange County to Los Angeles County to Ventura County and other courts in Southern California.
  • Felony DUI: Have you been arrested for a felony DUI or Vehicular Manslaughter or a Watson Murder? If so, you absolutely need a felony drunk driving defense attorney who is very experienced, knows all of the Southern California courts and will aggressively defend you.
  • Not Guilty? Simply because you have been arrested for California Drunk Driving does not mean you are guilty of anything. We will fight to show that the prosecutor will not be able to prove the case against you. There are many issues and technicalities in California DUI law for the prosecution to attempt to prove in a driving under the influence case. At Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP, our California drunk driving attorneys examine every element of the case and fight for you. If you do not hire an attorney, years from now will you ask yourself: “Why didn’t I hire a DUI lawyer and try to beat that drunk driving case?”
