DUI & Suspended License Charges mean jail time.

If you have been arrested for a DUI in Orange County, you run a high risk of getting arrested for a suspended license charge, if your license has been taken away. DUI and suspended license charges are mandatory jail, so because of that you need to work with a qualified attorney, someone who is aware, not only of the DUI aspect that goes on your case, but the suspended license charge. If you are convicted in Orange County of a driving under the influence with a suspended license, depending on why your license is suspended in the first place will affect what period of time you could be in custody for, what the fines are that could be charged to you and whether or not you'll be required to have an ignition interlock device placed on your car. If convicted on driving on a suspended license because of an alcohol related offense, the court as well as the DMV is empowered to require this ignition interlock device on your car, a hand held breathalyzer that affixes to the steering column, you have to blow into the machine with a zero-zero reading in order for your car to start. You have to pay for that, and that can follow you, that legal requirement for three years. To avoid that, happening in your particular case, please call us so that we can help you.
