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 DUI defense 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.
