Murrieta DUI Attorney

If you’ve been arrested for a DUI in Murrieta by the California Highway Patrol or the Murrieta Police Department, you only have 10 days from the day of your arrest to contact the DMV.  Our qualified Murrieta drunk driving lawyers will contact the DMV on your behalf and represent you throughout your entire case, from the DMV hearing to the criminal courts.  Getting the best representation will help you avoid receiving maximum sentencing allowed by law.

Contacting the DMV

Following you arrest for a Murrieta DUI, it is imperative that you contact the DMV within 10 days. The DMV has the authority to suspend your license based on the arrest alone; however, you do have a right to request this hearing on the automatic suspension of your driver’s license. The DMV hearing will consist of a hearing officer who will look at whether there was probable cause for the initial stop and whether you were driving with a blood-content level, or BAC, of .08% or higher.

Murrieta DUI Criminal Court Case

Once you have been arrested for a DUI in Murrieta, you will be issued a yellow citation which will include a mandatory court date as well as the location of the courthouse.  Your criminal court case will begin at this arraignment.  If you do not hire a Murrieta DUI attorney prior to this court date, you will have to appear in person; if our DUI attorneys are retained, we will appear on your behalf. We will provide you with legal advice throughout the entire process and will negotiate your case.
