If you have been arrested for DUI or know someone who is currently facing DUI charges in San Diego, it is absolutely essential to consult and work with a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Criminal charges involving drunk driving are serious, and the penalties that California courts will impose upon a conviction are harsh and can include extensive fines and jail or prison time. DUI and related offense are always treated with the utmost importance given community views on the topic as well as occurrences of drunk driving accidents and fatalities. It is important that you are protected from overzealous punishment.

You Only Have 10 Days to Challenge Your Driver's License Suspension!

In California, you only have 10 calendar days from the date of your DUI arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver's license. If you do not contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within this time period to request an administrative license suspension hearing, your driver's license will be automatically suspended. The suspension will occur regardless of whether you are found guilty of DUI. That is why it is absolutely vital that you get the legal help that you need at your DMV hearing.

An attorney can contact the DMV and can schedule your hearing for you. Your attorney can also represent you at your DMV hearing in order to help you reach a better result - one that results in the reinstatement of your driving privileges.

The loss of your license can have a huge negative impact on your life. In California, many individuals depend upon their driving privileges to work, attend school, care for family and much more. It is very important that you are able to receive the legal assistance that you need before it is too late and you have already lost your license. At Superior Law Center, our legal team is fully prepared to give you the help that you need in your DMV hearing to help maximize your chances of a positive outcome. The DMV hearing is completely separate from your criminal trial and it is important that both are addressed to give you the best results in your DUI case.

Challenging DUI Evidence
The evidence in a DUI case will likely include the testimony of the arresting officer and the results of a breath test or blood test. There may be physical evidence to consider as well, such as the police report and any evidence that was recovered from the defendant's vehicle, such as an open container of alcohol. Challenging this evidence will be a key part of the DUI defense counsel that your attorney provides to you. It is true that you may have "failed" a breath test or that the arresting officer may testify that you performed poorly on field sobriety tests. This does not mean, however, that you should be convicted of driving under the influence. What if the officer improperly graded your field sobriety tests? What if the breath test device was improperly calibrated? There are a number of issues that may be taken into consideration by your lawyer in order to challenge the evidence against you.
