What to expect
An arrest for DUI in California will usually iniate two different processes. One with the Court and the other with the DMV. Even though the result of each process can be completely different it is not Double Jeopardy.

Saving your license
Requesting a DMV hearing within the ten calendar days as required will give you the opportunity to save your license. If this request isn't made with the time required your privilege to drive in the State of California will be suspended.

What is at stake?
The affects of a DUI conviction can reach far beyond taking a class and paying a fine. For example, did you know that a DUI conviction will prevent you from traveling to Canada?

What are the Basic Defenses?
Some people believe that after a "DUI" that nothing can be done. This is simply not true there are literally dozens, if not hundreds of "issues" with every DUI arrest in California.

The First Court Date
The court date you were given is called an arraignment. In most cases your lawyer can appear for you at this hearing if you retain a lawyer.

Always Consider Representation
If you choose to not hire a lawyer you must appear at every court hearing. Additionally, your privilege to drive in the State of California will be lost for a minimum 30 days.

Selecting Counsel - Quick Advice
Asking about DUI experience is crucial. Also asking about what you get for your money is important. Always ask about both.

Selecting Counsel - Detailed
This article is published by Florida Attorney B. Tannebaum. His advice on selecting counsel is so good why re-invent the wheel? Although some information may not apply in california there is very valuable information here. Additionally I felt that because it is written by an out of state lawyer that it might be more convincing as compared to a local lawyer or myself.
