El Cajon DUI Defense Lawyer

Arrested for your first DUI offense?

You are driving home from a night out with friends, from work or from picking up your children from soccer practice. Next thing you know, you have been pulled over by a police officer and are being asked to step out of the vehicle. Unsure of what this happening, you comply with the officer's requests and exit the vehicle. Next, the officer asks you to perform several field sobriety tests and a breath test. Nervously completing these tasks, you are unsure of how this should be handled and what the appropriate words to say are. The officer then places you into custody and says that you are under arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol.

A Brief Overview of DUI & DMV Hearings in El Cajon, CA

In fact, we have seen virtually all DUI cases, from underage DUI to multiple DUI charges to aggravated DUI. We can inform you on the penalties of this DUI charge and how it will affect your criminal and driving record.

It is important to talk to an attorney immediately after the arrest has taken place - you will only have ten days to schedule an appointment with the DMV to dispute the suspension of your license. The DMV hearing and the criminal case are two entirely separate hearings and will not affect each other.
