Will I be able to get my case dismissed because I was not read my rights?
Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody,
your statements can not be used against you.
Will I go to jail?
On a first offense, probably not. On second or later offenses, it becomes more
probable, but an experienced attorney may be able to keep you out.
If my DUI is reduced to a Wet Reckless, what do I gain?
Not much. In California both are counted as alcohol offenses (crimes) for the
rest of your life. While a Wet Reckless most likely will not be considered by
other states, DUI travels across state lines. Wet has a few (very few) advantages.
We can discuss this in our office.
I had two alcohol offenses when I was younger. What will happen to my license
if I have a third conviction?
Your license will be automatically revoked for three (3) years.
I have three serious offenses within seven years, what will become of my license?
It can be revoked for five years.
How many hours of alcohol classes will I have to take?
Plan on at least 26 hours, one two hour session per week for thirteen weeks.
What will happen if I do not complete the classes or public service ordered
by the Court?
You will go to jail.
I lost my California license. May I obtain a license in another state.
In most cases, not if you have a DUI conviction.
If I obtain an international driver's license, may I drive in California,
even though my California license is revoked?
No.
Am I a bad person because I was arrested for DUI?
No, but you are well advised never, never smell like alcohol while behind the
wheel. You do not need to feel humiliated.
What if I burped within twenty minutes of blowing?
The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than you lungs.
The result may be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures or with certain
gastric problems. Answers to other questions posed on.
