After the Arrest

If you are found guilty, heavy fines, community service, alcohol-related classes, loss of driving privileges, and jail time are all possible consequences. However, you may be able to avoid a guilty verdict if you retain a qualified Alameda County, California DUI attorney and DMV hearing lawyer.

The hearing will determine your future driving privileges, whereas only your criminal trial will determine you guilt or innocence in the charges brought against you.

Factors That Can Affect the Criminal Trial

The penalties for drunk driving in Alameda County are already set forth by California State Statutes, although, since every DUI case is different, sentences can vary based on the facts. For example, consequences will be greater if:

• A child under the age of 14 was in your vehicle
• You had a prior DUI conviction within the last ten (10) years
• You refused to submit to alcohol testing (blood, breath, or urine)
• You were speeding at least 20 mph or more
• Your BAC was over twice the legal limit of 0.08%

The details surrounding your case, policies of prosecutors and courthouses, weakness in the case found by your DUI attorney, and your attorney's good reputation can all be helpful to your case.
