Oakland DUI Court

If you have been arrested in Oakland for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and Oakland DUI, you have several things that you need to do immediately. Here is a start: First, do a chronology of the day and day before. Most people are arrested in the early morning hours, so you will want accurate information including the day before from the time you awoke and got up and ate breakfast all the way through the time you were released from jail. Second, your license should have been taken, and you were given a pink piece of paper as a temporary license; it is only good for 30 days, and on it, there is some small bold print that tells you that you only have ten (10) days to contact the DMV for hearing or your license will be suspended. CALL LAWYER AND HAVE THEM DO IT FOR YOU. MY OFFICE WILL DO THAT FOR YOU FOR FREE, and that way it is done correctly with proof that the DMV was contacted. There are thousands of these per year and your phone call can be lost, so without proof, you don't get the hearing and lose your license. Additionally, many people call or go to an Oakland DMV field office for their DUI, a field office is where you get your driver's license, and this is the wrong place. If that is what you do, you will lose your unless 99% of the time, so have my office do if for correctly and for FREE if this is an Oakland DUI or anywhere in the Bay Area, but especially if it is from Oakland. Third, show the attorney that you are truly interested in your case by making an appointment and bring all of your papers that were given to you from the police, your chronology, list of any witnesses, and do it quickly to discuss all of your options and defenses for an Oakland DUI, and do it face to face. My consultations are FREE, and most of the time our conversations, which are confidential, bring out other evidence that we need to get to help you, and when you see how bad some of these tests are, you will feel much better that you actually have a chance. I have a breath machine in my office, and have you take a test to show you how bad the results can actually be in your Oakland DUI. Finally, don't fall into the trap that just because the police officer said that you were guilty you are; that simply is not true. Some people are guilty and some are not, and some are guilty to a lesser degree that will come into play with an Affordable Oakland DUI Attorney. All of the evidence is collected and applied when talking with the Judge and District Attorney in your Oakland DUI case. Remember, time works against you in an Oakland DUI case, so do your in-person interview with the attorney right away.
