I Was Arrested For DUI. What Am I Looking At?

When you are charged with a DUI in California, you actually have two cases pending against you. One case is criminal in nature (the part of your case associaed with your court case), and the other is with the DMV regarding your driving privileges, and is administrative. Your criminal case is prosecuted by the District Attorney or City Attorney’s office. The administrative case is an Administrative Per Se License Hearing (or APS hearing). This hearing pertains to your driver’s license and is handled by the California Department of Motor Vehicles Office of Driver Safety. You have 10 days after your arrest to request an APS Hearing or it is waived.

Be sure to request this hearing or retain a DUI lawyer in Orange County to do it for you within the 10 day time period or you automatically forfeit your right to contest your pending driver’s license suspension.

As you know, prosecutors, the courts, and even the law, all want to show how tough they are against people with a DUI case. The punishment includes potential jail time, loss of your license, loss of a job, and thousands of dollars in fines if not handled correctly. Don’t let the system excessively punish you without looking at all sides. Although you probably are still dealing with the impact from your arrest, this is more serious than you realize.

The law has a maximum (six months in jail, and a fine and fees that total $5000) and a minimum (three years probation, an alcohol school, and base fines of $390). DUI cases are sometimes reduced to another charge, which would reduce the sentencing range. The prosecutor also will add punishment if there were any of the following:

a blood alcohol level of at or above a .16%;
children in the car;
an accident (with or without injury);
an allegation that you were speeding while DUI;
or any priors.
