San Diego DUI Arrest Attorney

Information on the DUI Arrest Process

Being arrested for a DUI can be one of the most frightening experiences an individual can go through. From the moment you are pulled over, the police officer on the scene is looking for any small action that can justify your arrest. This anxiety can cause individuals to fail the field sobriety tests that an officer may administer, as well as make mistakes that can result in an arrest. If you are ever arrested for a DUI, the first thing you need to do is contact a San Diego DUI attorney immediately.

If you are arrested for a DUI, there are two separate proceedings that will begin. One, through the DMV, will result in your license being suspended, unless you schedule a DMV hearing and, along with your attorney, argue to keep your license. If your license does become suspended, at some point later in the proceedings, your attorney can fight for driver's license restoration. The other process is the criminal charges and takes place in court, which can result in the severe penalties usually associated with a DUI conviction-probation, community service, steep fines, and jail time.

When facing a DUI charge, it is important to do everything possible to make the process go smoothly, and not incriminate yourself. As difficult as it may seem, always be polite to the police officer that has pulled you over. Decline answering questions about where you have been and how many drinks you have had; any answers you give can be used against you later.
