Coronado, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

They can impound it upon your arrest for DUI related to that vehicle. That is one of the normal consequences of DUI. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When questioned, threatened, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Low BA level is an arguable defense or grounds for motion. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

You very well might be charged with resisting and obstructing a police officer. That is a felony carrying up to two years in prison. Whether you will do jail time depends on your record, your judge and the seriousness of the facts in your case.

This may be the last thing you want to hear because perhaps you are tire of discussing your situation with attorney but, just the same, you need to discuss your situation with an attorney. The reasons are that your question needs clarification, i.e., additional questions must be answered before I know how to advise you. For example, what unethical behavior did your current attorney commit? How do you know it was/is unethical under the context? Why do you want to return the status quo back to before you hired the attorney and not correct the problem for which you initially hired him or her? That is, why correct your legal situation's big mess?
