Birds Landing, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

In order to convict you of DUI, they must prove that you were driving and under the influence. Can they do that based on circumstantial evidence? Possibly. Is it a slam dunk for the prosecution? Not necessarily. You're absolutely going to need an attorney to assist you with this in court. If you can afford to hire an attorney, look for a local criminal defense attorney that routinely practices in the court where your case will be heard. Your attorney can make the court appearances for you. If you cannot afford an attorney, you can request a public defender when you appear in court. One additional thing to consider - if the police confiscated your license when you were arrested and issued a pink temporary license, that is your notice that you only have 10 days to contact the DMV and set up a hearing to save your license. If you don't do anything, your license will automatically be suspended for 4 months, no matter what happens in court. They are two separate proceedings. The public defenders's office cannot and will not assist with the DMV, but an attorney you hire will.

I am concerned that the officer wrote the volume measurement of the breath test rather than the BAC. .3241 would be extremely high for a BAC, but it would be pretty standard for a volume measurement. Also, the breath test does not go to 4 decimal points. I just helped a woman win a case where the office did not read the breath test correctly. Lets discuss representation - In response to your DUI Questions: I am a criminal defense attorney that focuses on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.

You said the charges were from 10 years ago, but not when you were convicted. Without further information I cannot give you any idea how long the IID device will be required.
