Arrested for a DUI? You Have Options.
If you have been charged with a DUI in California, you may feel like there is nothing you can do to fight the charges or prevent your driver's license from being suspended. Even if you believe you are guilty, there may be defenses available to you.
Before pleading guilty to a DUI, speak with the skilled criminal defense lawyers of Bell & Boylan about your rights and legal options. Call us at 916-905-3674 or toll free at 877-861-3636 to schedule a free consultation.
Fight Criminal Charges
When you work with Bell & Boylan, we will first review your arrest records, evidence, video taken from the arresting officer's car and your blood alcohol content (BAC) testing results. Then, we will recommend a defense strategy based on your unique situation, which could include:
- A plea bargain: As experienced Sacramento DUI plea bargain attorneys, we will negotiate with the district attorney's office on your behalf to have the charges dropped or reduced. As part of your plea bargain, you may be required to take alcohol education classes. We will recommend reputable DUI education facilities and coach you through probation.
- A DUI trial: If we believe that the BAC test results were inaccurate, we will take your case to trial and challenge the results. Our forensic alcohol analyst will review and analyze your test results for accuracy and ensure that testing was conducted properly. If we discover that your results are inaccurate, we will motion the court to suppress them. We also will confront any witnesses that were present during your arrest, including the arresting officer.
Protect Your Driving Privileges
When you are arrested with a DUI, the arresting officer will suspend your driver's license and give you a temporary license. You have 10 days from the date of your DUI arrest to request a per se hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to contest the suspension. If you retain us, we will start preparing for the hearing well in advance, reviewing the documents associated with your suspension for errors. We will ask to exclude any defective evidence and in some cases, we may be able to get your suspension set aside.
