What many other firms lack is that they do not value or they misunderstand what it means to be a “good” criminal defense law firm. Many other firms know that they must be professional to be successful and understand that they should not agitate the prosecutor, or the judge. However, some firms let the importance of professionalism deter them from not advocating as fiercely for their client as they should. This misguided over valuing of professionalism often leads to attorneys who are ineffective in advocating for their client’s best interest. In doing so, the prosecutors, or judges dealing with these types of attorneys may take advantage of this characteristic and push them around.
At the Orange County DUI Attorney, our lawyers are not afraid to fight and push back if we see that a prosecutor is trying to take advantage of you and your case by not negotiating fairly. Most prosecutors have learned not to take our professionalism as a weakness – we have established that we show up to court to protect and fight for your best interest, not to make friends.

OUR FIRM PRIDES ITSELF ON NOT BEING A “MILL.”One factor that usually follows a criminal defendant when looking for the best attorney is “a mill.” A “mill” is known for being a law firm that represents many clients at one time and promises to get the clients a certain result, but then the firm hires other attorneys to do all the work for the case for a lower price than what the client paid the law firm. The way mills operate is very unethical and most often does not get the client the best result possible. To a “mill,” a client is just an unknown face. At the Orange County DUI Attorney Law Firm, we devote time to familiarize ourselves with our clients; OUR attorneys, unlike other attorneys, will handle your case from start to finish, and are invested in what the outcome of your case will be.
Our attorneys share the same perception of the “mill” concept, believing that it is unethical and repugnant, and our business practices reflect our devotion to provide our clients with the best representation possible.

Here are some of the things you should know about the legal process after being arrested for DUI in Orange County.
After being arrested for DUI, many people have unanswered questions. They may wonder will I get jail time? Do they need a defense attorney? How much the attorney and the DUI process costs? What happens at an arraignment? Can they beat a DUI charge? Hiring an attorney will help ensure that you know what your rights are and may relieve some of the stress before your criminal court hearing.
This website and our blog provide you with information on multiple subjects related to DUI charges. Moreover, the information provided to you below should give you some idea of how to proceed in your DUI case. Remember, if you would like more thorough and specific information you can always contact our office for your free consultation.
An arraignment hearing is the first court appearance after being arrested and charged for a DUI. At the arraignment, the charges against you will be formally brought and you will need to enter a plea. You can plead guilty, not guilty, or plead no contest. Moreover, you have the right to contest the charge you are facing. To challenge the charges against you, you must plead not guilty; following your plea the court will then schedule a trial. The arraignment can be a complex and overwhelming process if you do not have an attorney representing you. The presence of an attorney at your arraignment can provide you with assistance, and an explanation of what is happening, so that you are made aware of your rights and that those rights are protected throughout the entire arraignment.
In an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI), the arresting officer will confiscate your driver’s license, and the officer will give you a temporary license, as well as provide you a suspension notice. The temporary license only lasts 30 days. After the 30 days have expired, your driver’s license will be suspended. How long your suspension period is depending on how severe the charge against you is and can range from 30 days to one year. Declining to take a breath test during your arrest results in an automatic one-year license suspension. Any prior DUI convictions may affect the suspension of your license, usually prior convictions may add anywhere from 2 to 10 years to your suspension. License suspensions given by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) apply even if the charges for DUI against you are dropped or lessened.
However, if you request a DMV hearing within 10 days after being arrested, you are entitled with the ability to challenge your license suspension. If you hire one of our attorneys, your attorney will be present at your DMV hearing to ensure you understand what is happening and to increase your chances of keeping your driving privileges.
In order to challenge your license suspension, you, or your attorney, must call the Driver’s Safety Office of the DMV no later than 10 days after your arrest. If you fail to call within the 10 days after your arrest, the ability to challenge your suspension is waived. People with an out-of-state license have to abide by the same rules; failure to do so will result in the suspension of their license in the state that it was issued in. One of our highly knowledgeable DUI attorneys can provide unparalleled assistance throughout your DMV hearing and will advocate for the best result possible.
If charged with DUI in California, you may be facing various potential penalties. Those penalties may include jail time, driving privileges being suspended, monetary fines, and other fees. A first DUI offense is considered a misdemeanor, and can include penalties such as, the loss of driving privileges for 6 months, jail time for up to 6 months, and monetary fines up to $1,000. Penalties can also include mandatory participation and completion of drug and alcohol courses lasting 3 - 9 months. If you have had prior DUI convictions you could face more severe penalties.
