Being arrested for driving under the influence can be frightening. Many California residents who
are charged with a DUI offense are normally upstanding, law-abiding citizens. All it takes is a
momentary lapse in judgment or unfortunate mistake for a person to find themselves treated as a
criminal. If convicted, individuals can face a range of serious consequences, including years or
incarceration, that may affect them for the rest of their lives. At Hurwitz Law Group, Inc we help our
clients obtain the best possible outcome from a highly stressful situation. Whether you have been
charged with a misdemeanor or felony DUI, our team will do whatever it takes to mitigate the
negative consequences for you. The sooner you get in touch with our lawyers for legal guidance,
the more we can do to help you.
Contact a Lawyer
Contacting a criminal defence lawyer is the first step you should take following a DUI arrest. It is
important that you fully understand the potential ramifications of a DUI conviction and what
options are available for you to fight the charges or soften the penalties so that you can make
prudent decisions regarding how to proceed with your case. Our experienced lawyers have
helped countless Los Angeles drivers get their licenses back and avoid stiff fines or even prison
time over the years.
Arrange a DMV Hearing
By law, if you are arrested for driving under the influence then your driver’s license will
automatically be suspended. In order to appeal the suspension, you will need to arrange a hearing
with the DMV. You only have a short period of 10 days to get everything sorted out or else your
license will be suspended. Your lawyer can help you plead your case in order to have your
license reinstated. This can prevent a tremendous amount of hassle and inconvenience for you
and ensure you continue to have access to your driving privileges so that you can get to and from
work and around Los Angeles without issue.
Fight the Charges
You are innocent until proven guilty. The charges brought against you do not necessarily have to
lead to a conviction. If you believe that you have been wrongfully accused of driving under the
influence, we can help you find a way to establish that there is enough reasonable doubt to
dismiss the charges against you. The criminal justice system is not always perfect. That is why
our team of criminal defense attorneys are here to help our clients successfully defend
themselves in a court of law.
Minimize the Damage
When you are convicted of a criminal offense, your life can change in many ways. You could
face steep fines that impact your financial security or spend years of your life incarcerated. In
addition to having a criminal record that could preclude you from many employment
opportunities, your reputation may be permanently affected. At Hurwitz Law Group, Inc we help
clients throughout Los Angeles, California fight to minimize the damage caused by a potential
conviction.
