How do DUI attorneys help?
In California, the DUI attorney provides legal counsel to the DUI client. This includes legal analysis regarding the evidence in the case, the facts of the case, and how the law applies to the individual DUI defendant’s case and as to whether the state can satisfy its burden of proof in a criminal DUI trial. The DUI attorney also appears in criminal court on behalf of the DUI defendant and represents the DUI defendant before the court. If the DUI is contested (No Plea Bargain), meaning that the Defense and the prosecution are unable to agree on a disposition for the alleged DUI, then the DUI defense attorney actually defends the DUI defendant in a criminal DUI court trial before a judge or jury. Moreover, the DUI attorney also helps with DUI DMV hearings regarding driver’s license suspension hearings and the like. In short a good DUI attorney provides guidance through a complex criminal dui court system and administrative DMV system, in order for the DUI defendant to put the DUI and its legal repercussions behind with minimal impact on the DUI defendant. www.orangeduilaw.com
