Orange County DUI Defense Lawyer
Your Board Certified Expert in California DUI Defense
Being arrested for DUI is often an intimidating, humiliating, and stressful ordeal. You may have little experience with California’s criminal justice system, know even less about its laws or procedures, and be justifiably anxious about the outcome of your case. Your job or career could be on the line, with potential jail time, heavy fines, and the loss of your license.
A conviction can leave you with a permanent criminal record accessible online in a routine background check. This can make it readily available to future employers, landlords, professional licensing agencies, educational institutions, and other interested parties.
When facing such consequences, you need an attorney you can trust for skilled legal counsel in criminal court and administrative DMV hearings. At the Law Offices of Virginia L. Landry, Inc., you can work with a DUI attorney who brings exceptional qualifications to your case, whether it involves a first offense, a subsequent offense, or a more serious offense, such as felony DUI or DUI with injury or death.
