Irvine DUI Attorney

What should I do if I am arrested for an Irvine DUI?

If you are arrested for driving under the influence in Irvine, the first thing you should do is contact a qualified Irvine drunk driving defense attorney to assist you with all aspects of your case.  From contacting the California Department of Motor Vehicles to place a stay on the automatic suspension of your license to representing you at the Orange County criminal court, an experienced Irvine DUI lawyer will be there from there beginning.  It is important to hire someone that is local to the Irvine area and knows the hearing officers at the Irvine Driver's Safety Branch as well as the prosecutors and district attorneys at the Harbor Justice Center.

What is the ten day rule in an Irvine DUI case?

You have ten days from the date of your Irvine DUI arrest to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles and request a hearing on the suspension of your license.  The DMV has the right to suspend your license for a minimum of four months based solely off of an arrest for a first offense DUI.  At the hearing, the DMV hearing officer will only consider a limited number of issues, but if you or your attorney is successful in negating any of those issues then you will not face a license suspension based off of your arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence in Irvine.

What is an arraignment date if I am arrested for drunk driving in Irvine?

Your arraignment date in your Irvine DUI case is your first required court appearance.  If you are arrested in Irvine you will be required to appear at the Harbor Justice Center located in Newport Beach off of Jamboree Road.  The arraignment date will be listed at the bottom of the yellow citation issued to you upon release from arrest.
