DUI / Ventura Driving Under the Influence Lawyer
Arrested for Drunk Driving in Ventura County?
If you are arrested for drunk driving in Ventura or the surrounding area you are in serious legal trouble. California has some of the most severe penalties in the nation for DUI charges. If you or a loved one has been arrested for drunk driving, it is critical that you contact a Ventura drunk driving defense lawyer immediately. At the Law Office of Kristi Peariso, P.C., I am skilled in the defense of DUI charges of all types, including for individuals who have multiple drunk driving convictions on their record.
Potential DUI Consequences - Why You Need a Lawyer
If you have been charged with drunk driving in California, you face a variety of potential punishments; the most serious is facing time in jail. Additionally, if charged with a California DUI (soften referred to as a DWI), you can lose your privilege to drive or probation and court ordered DUI classes. Having a experience criminal defense lawyer on your side allows to you fully understand the charges against you, the possible repercussions, and what your options are.
DMV Hearing - Part of California DUI Law
California DUI law triggers two separate cases: a DUI / DWI court case and a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) case. When drivers are arrested for drunk driving in California, they are charged with two different counts. The first is driving under the influence of alcohol; the second is a related charge of driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent or higher. The latter charge is the one that triggers the California Department of Motor Vehicles DUI case, where the California DMV will attempt to suspend the motorist's driving privileges. You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to request a DUI DMV hearing with the California DMV.
The stress of facing the court system can be overwhelming, and you never want to enter this arena without an experienced criminal defense lawyer by your side. At the Law Office of Kristi Peariso, P.C., you can rest assured I will explore all possible options in order to minimize the consequences you face.
