Orange County DUI Court Process

Once you have been arrested for driving under the influence in Orange County, you will be facing two hearings that are completely separate from one another. The first is a DMV hearing that is done through the Irvine Driver's Safety Branch and must be requested within 10 days of any OC DUI arrest.

The second but equally important process is the criminal court process where you be arraigned.  Because the DUI court can be extremely complex, it is recommended that you have a reputable and knowledgeable Orange County DUI Lawyer who understand DUI defense and is experienced with the Orange County Superior Court System

What Happens at the DUI Court in Orange County?

During the DUI court, your case will resolve in one of two ways - a plea bargain or a trial.  While most DUI cases resolve before having to head to trial, there is a possibility that your OC DUI Attorney will have to take your case to a jury trial; if this does occur, you will receive a new retainer agreement as well as a new quote.

Once you are found guilty during DUI court, you could be facing additional hefty fines, a suspended license, you will be required to complete an alcohol or drug program, and you might have to do community service work,  have an interlock ignition installed in your vehicle or wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.

If no agreement is settled and your case goes to trial, your Orange County DUI Attorney will be able to present evidence, subpoena records or police officers as well as get witness testimony in order to present your case and get an acquittal.
