IF YOU WERE ARRESTED FOR DUI THIS SUMMER

You need the best DUI attorney available to you in the geographic area where you were arrested.

You do not want to get a lawyer who fought your DV case before or who your daddy knows from the club. If you want the best possible chance of beating the DUI that you were arrested for, then you want to get the lawyer who is actually a DUI lawyer. That means that you want to retain a lawyer who is very experienced with defending DUI cases in the city or county where you were arrested in the State of California.

Why should I have a DUI attorney?

In the past 15 years the DUI laws in the California have become very complicated and can be confusing to most non-attorneys and to attorneys who do not regularly handle DUI cases. Remember that if your DUI arrest was alcohol related, you may be subjected to a DMV license suspension proceeding that is separate and very different than the DUI court case. So, you want to retain an attorney that is knowledgeable and very experienced with both the DMV process and the court process.

Should a hire a DUI attorney from the area where I was arrested?

The answer is a definite “yes”! Although all courts in the State of California use the same California Vehicle Code as the law in a DUI case. Each county in the state has their own unique local rules and procedures for handling a DUI case. Some counties may be similar to other counties in how they handle DUI cases. But it won’t be exactly the same. And each courthouse in each county can vary in what they do to determine how they go about proceeding with the case of someone who has been arrested for a DUI. So how a DUI case is handled in the Indio Courthouse of Riverside County will be different from how a DUI case may be handled in the Banning Courthouse of Riverside County. So if you were arrested for a DUI in a geographic area where you have been ordered to appear in the Indio Courthouse, then you want a DUI attorney that regularly practices in the Indio Courthouse.

Is driving under the influence of marijuana considered a DUI?

Yes, one of the many changes in the DUI laws over the past couple of years was to make sure that marijuana and other types of drugs are specifically included as a DUI. If a police officer arrests you because he believes that any drug, prescribed, off the street or over the counter, has impaired your ability to drive safely, it is a DUI arrest. The DMV may not get directly involved in a DUI drug case like they do with a DUI alcohol case, but the court case will proceed in the same way whether it is alcohol or drugs.

We have been practicing a combined 58 years and 26 of those combined years have been defending DUI cases in the Indio Courthouse. Call us for a free consultation. You will be glad that you did.
