Long Beach DUI Attorneys Fighting to Protect Your Rights

When you have been arrested for DUI, you need to do what you can to protect your rights and your driving privileges.

If you are found to be driving while your BAC is at or above the legal limit, then you will be arrested and you could face serious penalties if convicted.

The California DUI Process

Being arrested for DUI in California can set in motion a complex series of events including hearings, pre-trial motions, and police custody. If you have allegedly failed a chemical or field sobriety test, you will be placed under arrest.

What follows in the DUI process usually includes:

• Booking—done by police at the station where you will be fingerprinted, photographed and jailed. You may be released soon from jail and given a court date without having to post bail.
• Court hearing—you will go to court if the DA's office files a criminal complaint against you. Here you will be advised of your charges and enter a plea.
• DMV hearing—your driver's license will be suspended unless you request a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest. An attorney form our firm can work to defend your right to drive.
• Trial—the prosecution needs to prove beyond doubt that you were impaired while driving. Here, our firm can challenge your DUI and work to have your charges dropped or reduced.
• Sentencing—the judge will sentence you if you plead guilty or are convicted. You could be granted probation or be sent to jail depending on the circumstances of your charge.
