DUI SERVICES
Misdemeanor DUIs
The majority of DUIs are filed as misdemeanors. Sometimes an enhancement is charged as well. Enhancements usually include excessive BAC (.20 or greater), a collision or child endangerment. These increase the possible penalties in your case.
Felony DUIs
Felony DUIs are for more serious than misdemeanor DUIs as they can carry a state prison sentence. Some felonies can be reduced to misdemeanors. It is also possible to negotiate a plea agreement that involves county jail as opposed to state prison. Experts are usually needed to investigate, create reports, and testify. I work with only the best experts in Orange County.
Hit and Run (associated with DUI)
Some DUI cases involve a hit and run charge. In some cases, the hit and run charge can be dismissed, depending on the facts, so long as restitution has been paid to the victims.
Driving on a Suspended License (DUI related)
Driving on a suspended license carries penalties that vary depending on how many times you have been charged with this offense.
Probation Violations (DUI related)
The most common reasons for probation violations are failure to enroll in a class and failure to pay fines. While jail time is possible you can usually get a second chance depending on the judge.
DMV Hearings
DMV hearings are completely separate from court case. These hearings only address whether or not your license will be suspended and do not affect your court case in any way.
Arrest Report Review
I offer a unique service for those people arrested for DUI that are considering representing themselves. For a significantly reduced fee, I will review your arrest report and offer guidance and advice on how to proceed with your case.
