Having a DUI on your Record Can Lead to Many Consequences

From the moment of your DUI arrest, you have ten days until your license is suspended. For many people, that is an unacceptable consequence. We know that you have work and family obligations that make your right to drive important to you. We have represented many clients at suspension hearings and helped them retain their driving privileges. Having a DUI on your record can lead to many consequences, not the least of which is a greater chance of harsher penalties if you are ever charged again in the future. This means that it is important for you to avoid a conviction if at all possible. The bottom line is, the sooner that you talk to us, the sooner we can get to work for you. If you have been charged with driving under the influence in Newport Beach, we are ready to be on your side.

There are Many Strategies that Can Contribute to Your Defense

Although DUI is a relatively common charge, it is also important to remember that it is a serious one. Depending on your record and the circumstances surrounding the stop, you may be facing severe penalties that include:

  • Jail time
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Community service
  • DUI school
  • Fines
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle

However, there are many strategies that can contribute to your defense. There are factors that can impact the accuracy of a breathalyzer test. Chemical tests are not always accurate. Police do not always follow proper procedure during stops. Sometimes people are stopped when there were not grounds to do so in the first place. We will work to gain a complete understanding of the circumstances surrounding your specific situation and employ the strategies that make sense for you.
