DUI Attorney Orange County
No one wants to think about the possibility of being pulled over on DUI charges. As unpleasant as it is to think about, being informed ahead of time can help you be prepared in the event that the unthinkable happens. If you or a family member is arrested in Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Laguna Niguel or Newport Beach, on DUI charges, contact a DUI attorney in Orange County as soon as possible. Contact Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP at (888) 579-4844. One of the first things that you should know that being pulled over on a DUI charge does not mean that you are automatically guilty. Many people feel embarrassed or ashamed and they are pulled over because DUI has such a stigma attached to it. Whether you had a couple of drinks or did not drink at all, certain factors can affect the accuracy of field sobriety tests and Breathalyzer results. Do not admit guilt even if you believe that you may be under the influence. Ask to speak to your Orange County DUI attorney Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP as soon as possible. If you are pulled over, the officer will likely take your license and give you a temporary license that is good for 30 days. However -- and this is very important -- you only have 10 days to file for a hearing with the DMV. If you plan on retaining the services of a DUI attorney in Orange County, be sure to do so as soon as possible so that they can arrange for the hearing. It is best to allow your lawyer to arrange for the hearing in order to ensure that they will be able to attend on your behalf. Many times your lawyer will be able to successfully refute the evidence presented at this hearing and get the license suspension set-aside. In the event that your case goes to trial, your lawyer can attack any evidence that the state brings against you. Matters such as the state of the equipment used to test you, the highly subjective “facts” that the officer used to determine that you are under the influence, the reasons he pulled you over in the first place, and any factors that may have affected his perception of your sobriety can be called into question. It's up to the state of California to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were driving under the influence. It is your Orange County DUI attorney's responsibility to dispute the state's version of events. Many times, at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff we have had the charges reduced or even dropped.
