How DUI's Work In California

A complete breakdown of how every step of a DUI works and what you can expect. If you have further questions, we encourage you to check out our DUI Information Center or speak with one of our attorneys.

Part 1. The Arrest/Booking

A Majority of DUI arrests happen after you are pulled over, or an accident occurs. From a legal perspective, two major events happen during this phase: First, you were likely given a chemical test with a choice between a blood test or a breathalyzer. Second, your license was taken from you, and you were given a pink temporary driver's license. Unless you take action immediately, the DMV will automatically suspend your license after 30 days.

Part 2. DMV Hearing

When arrested for a DUI, you face two government entities, the court, and the DMV. The Department of Motor Vehicles will suspend your license automatically after your arrest by state law. This is called "administrative suspension." However, we can fight this if we act quickly. From your arrest, you have ten days to file a request for a hearing with the DMV. Your hearing is your only chance to stop the administrative suspension of your license, and if you miss the deadline, there is no going back.

Part 3. Pre-Trial

During the pre-trial phase of a DUI case, the prosecution must disclose all evidence to the defendant's attorney. As the top DUI attorneys in California, we meticulously review this evidence, known as "discovery," to uncover any technicalities that may benefit our client. We assess whether the defendant's rights were respected, scrutinize the chemical test results, and consider the timing of the test relative to the time of driving. This is where most DUI cases are resolved without going to trial.

Part 4. Trial

Sometimes your lawyer will recommend going to trial. This may be true if the prosecution refuses to bargain or if their case is flawed. A court trial is not necessarily bad, but it's risky because the outcome is all or nothing. Your lawyer's job is to convince the jury that there is doubt about what happened and ideally acquit you. A law firm with a reputation for winning trials is essential because if the prosecutor knows the defense council can't take a case all the way, they may not be willing to negotiate to a lesser charge even if their case is weak.
