Charged with DUI? Here’s what you need to know to fight for your rights, minimize the legal consequences and protect your reputation. When you’re arrested for driving under the influence, it’s a demoralizing and confusing time. But you can take steps right now that may help you keep your driving privileges, get your charges reduced or even dismissed, and avoid a permanent record.
Most California DUI arrests begin with a traffic stop or a checkpoint. The officer asks you to perform a series of field sobriety tests and to blow twice into a handheld breathalyzer. After arrest, the cop usually will ask you to take a blood or breath test at the police station, jail or hospital (you’re required by law to take this test…refusing the chemical test may result in tougher California DUI penalties and a one-year drivers license suspension).
If you retain the services of the Law Offices of Anna R. Yum, then you are teaming up with a former prosecutor who provides top-notch and aggressive legal representation. Our goal is to fight for you by providing the strongest possible defense. The government will be moving quickly to build a case against you. You must act quickly as well.
