Los Angeles DUI Lawyer

DUI Overview

Every Los Angeles DUI case moves through a specific sequence of actions that are greatly assisted by a Los Angeles DUI defense lawyer. Each step must be addressed carefully if you hope to avoid conviction. As each case is unique in circumstances, the individual case must be evaluated to determine how to move forward. Some cases give the opportunity to challenge the evidence against you, and others may require negotiations on your behalf to fight for alternative sentencing or a reduced charge. Whatever the case is, the legal team at the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz is prepared to aggressively fight for the rights and best interests of the client.

Los Angeles DUI Defense Lawyer

When you hope to dispute a DUI charge, there is a sequence of events that must take place. First, when you are arrested, you must not converse with law enforcement or make comments or answer questions. Secondly, you must immediately contact an attorney from the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz. Your first opportunity is ordinarily after you have been booked at the police station. Up to that point, you must be extremely quiet about the incident and avoid the inclination to make comments or discuss the situation with any law enforcement personnel.

You will then be arraigned, which is when you are formally charged with the offense, which usually happens quickly. If the judge decides that you are a flight risk, you may be required to post bail. The attorney from the firm will negotiate for an affordable bail amount on your behalf. Following your release, it is critical that the DMV hearing is scheduled if you hope to fight to keep your ability to drive and avoid a suspended license. You have only 10 days from the time of your arrest to request the DMV hearing, and if you hope to avoid a license suspension, the case must be presented to by the attorney from the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz to fight for your right to drive. After the DMV hearing is over, within 30 days you will have your court date in which you will either be found "not guilty" or "guilty". In some cases, the charges will have been dismissed prior to any trial due to the actions taken by the skilled DUI defense lawyer from the Law Offices of Robert Schwartz.
