A DUI arrest can raise questions about court dates, driving privileges, and possible penalties. Start with a review of your situation and the legal options that may be available.

A LITTLE CLARITY
General information about California DUI matters. Your circumstances deserve individual advice.
Call (949) 883-6001Keep your release papers and notices, check any court date, and seek advice promptly. If charges are filed, the criminal court process may begin with an arraignment. A separate DMV action may also affect your driving privilege. The details depend on your circumstances.
A DUI arrest can lead to an administrative suspension or revocation, separate from the criminal case. The outcome and any available license options depend on the facts and applicable requirements. Have counsel review your actual DMV notice.
California DMV states that you can request a hearing within 10 days of receiving the suspension or revocation order. Your paperwork and circumstances matter. Review the notice and confirm the applicable deadline promptly; do not wait for a response to this form.
Your work concerns deserve individual attention, especially if you rely on driving. Ask counsel about your specific situation and any questions involving work, licensing, or reporting obligations. This page cannot determine an employment outcome.
Prior history can affect the issues in a new case and the potential license consequences. Bring records of the earlier case and any existing orders so counsel can discuss how they relate to the new allegation.
The classification depends on the allegations, prior record, and applicable law. Some DUI cases are charged as misdemeanors; allegations involving injury or qualifying prior history may involve felony charges. Counsel should review the actual charging documents before advising you.
A DMV administrative hearing considers the license action identified in your notice. It is separate from the criminal court case. The issues and evidence depend on the type of action; ask counsel to review your notice and explain what applies.
A first DUI can involve both court and DMV issues. An attorney can review the allegations and available records, explain possible options, and discuss the consequences that may apply to your circumstances. No particular outcome is guaranteed.
