If you have been charged with Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) in California, you need to find a qualified DUI lawyer. The role of a DUI lawyer is to explain the specifics of the charges against you, advise you on the best way to handle your defense, represent you in court, schedule your DMV hearing and help you keep your license. All DUI charges are very serious in the state of California as it is considered a criminal offence. So, it's extremely important that you have a knowledgeable lawyer who has experience with this type of case.
[edit] HAVE A PRE-SCREENED DUI LAWYER CONTACT YOU

This is the quickest and most reliable way to make sure you find a qualified California DUI lawyer.
[edit] YOUR BEST OPTION - FIND YOUR DUI ATTORNEY NOW
To have a local experienced California DUI lawyer contact you fill out your contact information on this page. Typically you will be contacted within 24hrs in order to get the details of your case. You can trust that you will be connected with a lawyer who is qualified and experienced in DUI cases. The service is free with no contracts and no obligation to sign with the California DUI lawyer who is referred to your case.
[edit] BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVES
Searching through the yellow pages you'll find a lot of big and fancy advertisements. But, these good looking ads just tell you how good their advertising designer is - not how qualified the attorney is. It's basically the same thing for most internet searches. The way search engines rank law firms is arbitrary - they don't measure the experience or knowledge of a law firm, they just put best websites higher. If you decide to search for a California DUI lawyer through either of these methods you're likely going to waste countless hours trying to determine which DUI Attorney is a better fit than the other. This will involve emails, phone calls, sales pitches and the final choice may be mediocre or worse.
To be able to trust someone with your California DUI defense you need a pre-screened lawyer who understands all the complex laws about blood alcohol content (BAC), breathalysers, DWI, license suspensions, DMV penalties and new drunk driving legislation. Having the pre-screening service contact you can ensure you have the best advice to help you get your life back on track.
[edit] IF YOUR DUI CASE IS ALREADY OVER
If you have gone to trial and your DUI criminal case and California DMV hearing have been completed, you will need to go through the process of re-applying for your license and auto insurance. In most cases you will be required to file an SR 22 financial responsibility form through an insurance company in order to start the process of getting back on the road. This form helps the state ensure that motorists who have demonstrated risky driving patterns are maintaining appropriate insurance levels to protect other drivers. You can find out more about in our next article - SR 22 information.
