Albion, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

You should consult a DUI lawyer, many counties have their breath equipment set up to measure a "standard" prior to measuring the "suspect's" sample, this will often generate three numbers that aren't at all close, the first being the "known" value or the simulator solution value (calibration check) the next two values being the suspect's. A DUI attorney can help you sort this out and may be able to help you defend against the charges.

Upon release from jail or booking, you will be given documents that include a notice from DMV that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic one-year suspension of your license. Contact DMV and do so, timely. Hire an attorney for that hearing if you want. You also were provided a notice of court appearance for Arraignment. Go to that hearing and plead not guilty. You will be provided a copy of all the police reports and charging Complaint. There you will have to set a date for Pre-Trial hearing where negotiations with the DA are first conducted. If the case is not plea bargained, it will be set for Trial. Prior to that, you will file any appropriate Motions. Unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in all this, hire an attorney who does. The conventional wisdom is that the attorney will be able to get you a better deal than you could on your own, or effectively try the case if forced to that. That is what you are paying for. If serious about hiring counsel, and if this case is in Southern California courts, feel free to contact me.
