Dedicated Defense Against Drunk Driving Charges
When you are charged with driving under the influence (DUI), it may be tempting to simply plead guilty and move on with your life. However, the consequences of having a criminal conviction on your record can follow you around for the rest of your life. At The Law Offices of James F. DeMartini, our Sonoma County/Mendocino County DUI defense lawyers will vigorously protect your rights. You can rely on us to provide you with the strongest possible defense as we work tirelessly to help you achieve the best possible result for your situation.
Protect Your Rights: Seek Legal Help Immediately
If you have been charged with DUI, it is crucial that you speak with our Cloverdale drunk driving defense attorneys as soon as possible. An almost immediate DUI penalty is the suspension of your driver's license. You can request that this suspension be delayed pending the outcome of an administrative hearing by requesting a stay with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You must make this request within 10 days of the date of your arrest. Thus, it is important to have experienced legal counsel in your corner as soon as possible.
Working to Avoid Harsh Consequences
Beyond the possibility of a suspended license, the consequences for a drunk driving conviction can be far reaching and severe. You may face jail time and will almost certainly see a jump in your auto insurance rates. In addition, a criminal conviction may make it difficult to find employment, receive student loans or attain certain professional licenses. Retaining dedicated legal representation from The Law Offices of James F. DeMartini will help ensure a strong defense against these charges and may help you avoid the harsh punishments that come with a conviction.
