Experienced Alameda County DUI/DWI Attorney

Over the past decade, law enforcement has significantly increased its efforts to reduce drinking and driving accidents on California's highways. As a result, there are a high number of DUI/DWI arrests each year in California, and the penalties for drunk driving have been stiffened. At my law office in Hayward, California, I represent people charged with crimes in Alameda County, including DUI/DWI arrests.I have more than 25 years experience in criminal law. I practice solely in the area of criminal defense, and I practice exclusively in Alameda County. To schedule a free consultation, call my office at (510) 582-9090.

DMV Hearings: You Must Act Quickly

If you have been arrested for DUI, you or your attorney must contact the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days to schedule a hearing. If you have been arrested anywhere in California, it is important to call an attorney as soon as possible after your arrest to discuss your rights and responsibilities.

Retain the Services of an Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer

Whether it is your first DUI/DWI or you have multiple offenses, I strongly recommend that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney. A criminal defense attorney can explain your rights and provide you with knowledge of what is likely to happen in your case. This knowledge can make an extremely stressful time easier to handle. An attorney may also be able to appear on your behalf at hearings and reschedule hearings to better suit your schedule. In some cases, an attorney may determine that you have a strong defense that may warrant a case dismissal or an acquittal after a trial. If you have previous DUI/DWI convictions, a good criminal defense attorney may mean the difference between a significant time in jail or alternative sentencing.
