Fullerton Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

Fullerton, California is known as a bustling college town.  Right in the heart of the city stands Cal State Fullerton.  The bars that line downtown are home to locals and college students alike.  Unfortunately, the increased number of young adults in Fullerton also leads to a high number drunk driving arrests.  A Fullerton DUI charge can carry with it severe penalties such as jail time, lengthy alcohol programs, hefty fines and a license suspension.

You must take a number of things into consideration if you have been arrested for a Fullerton DUI.  A drunk driving charge out of Fullerton carries with it two unique actions, a civil procedure through the Department of Motor Vehicles and a criminal procedure through the Orange County Superior Court system.  The two hearings are completely independent of one another.  A success at one does not guarantee success at the other.

The most timely thing to take into consideration is that you only have ten calendar days from the date of your Fullerton DUI arrest to request a hearing and stay on the automatic suspension of your license.  Failure to request your administrative per se hearing through the Irvine Driver's Safety branch will result in the automatic suspension of your license.

Likely the most important decision you will make after being arrested for driving under the influence in Fullerton is which attorney you will hire to represent you.  Contact our office now for a free consultation.
