California DUI law is not straightforward.  Often times drunk driving laws can be confusing without the help of a dedicated San Francisco DUI Defense Lawyer.  There are a number of things to take into consideration when hiring a San Francisco DUI Attorney including if they are local to the San Francisco area, whether the majority of their practice is dedicated to Drunk Driving Defense and if each attorney is a member of reputable organizations.  All of these factors are key in obtaining a favorable disposition at both the court hearing and through the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

San Francisco DUI Criminal Process

There are two unique actions that are initiated by a San Francisco DUI.  The most timely consideration is through the California DMV.  You must contact the DMV within ten calendar days of your arrest to protect your license.   The second action is through the San Francisco County Criminal Courts.  In a California misdemeanor case the date of your first hearing can be found at the bottom of your ticket.  The first court date in a San Francisco DUI is known as the arraignment and at that court date the charges filed by the District Attorney will be read against you.  The San Francisco DUI criminal process is extremely detailed and may take several stages before a favorable disposition is reached. 

Contact a committed San Francisco Drunk Driving Lawyer to learn more about the criminal process and what to do first if you are arrested.

San Francisco DUI Department of Motor Vehicles Hearing

The hearing through the California DMV following an arrest for a San Francisco DUI is completely independent of the San Francisco Criminal Court Case.  Known as an Administrative Per Se (APS) Hearing, only a limited number of issues will be determined by the hearing officer.  If you hire a  San Francisco DUI Attorney within ten calendar days of your arrest then not only will they be able to conduct the hearing on your behalf but they can also request the hearing via fax and certified mail.
