“Drunk driving” is the act of driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) to the degree that mental and motor skills are “impaired”. Also known as Driving While Impaired/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the US, though enforcement varies widely between and within states/territories. What to do if you are charged with a DUI / DWI? Consult an experienced DUI defense attorney. California Law states that if you do not contest the DMV’s suspension of your license within 10 days of your arrest, you lose any chance at saving your license.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can handle all of this for you. A DMV hearing must be requested right away. The hearing itself will not take place for approximately a month, but if a hearing is not requested within 10 days, your right to a hearing is gone.
If you did not contact the DMV within 10 days, Attorney Sue Sahami can help you obtain a restricted license which will allow you to drive to and from work.
A DWI / DUI arrest can affect every aspect of your life, from your ability to work to your freedom. Hiring the wrong attorney or not hiring an attorney can cause troubles.
Enhancements are factors that can make a somewhat routine DUI into a more serious DUI. Enhancements can cause the D.A. to request jail time, longer alcohol classes, and more Caltrans or Community Service work.
Some of the factors affecting your DUI case are as follows:
