Orange County DUI Attorney

Charges for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs (sometimes referred to as DWI) in California carry serious consequences that can last a lifetime. If you were pulled over or stopped at a DUI checkpoint and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was over the state minimum of .08, your arrest could result in a criminal conviction — a conviction that carries consequences including serious fines, driver's license suspension, even jail time. As the DUI attorney at The Law Offices of Kenneth L. Schreiber in Irvine, California, I defend clients against all levels of drunk driving charges, from first-offense DUI to vehicular manslaughter, and against drug charges.

Irvine DUI Attorney Handling Drunk Driving Cases

In more than 35 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney, the most common mistake I see people make is to avoid calling a DUI lawyer until it is too late. Do not risk the unnecessary loss of driving privileges or a permanent record. If you were arrested for drunk driving, contact my law office and find out what your legal position is. I will only take your case if I sincerely believe that it will improve your position.

Minor DUI, Underage Consumption

The California DUI/DWI laws regarding minors are even stricter, with a BAC of .05 resulting in mandatory license suspension for one year. For repeat or habitual offenders, the penalties can be enormous.

When You Need a DUI Lawyer

• If your blood alcohol content (BAC) test was barely over the minimum, your DUI attorney might be able to have the test thrown out.
• If you were far over the DUI minimum BAC, it is extremely important to talk with a lawyer, because the long-term consequences can be serious.
• You may want an attorney to represent you in court because you live out of state or are not able to appear for some other reason.

As your Orange County DUI defense attorney, I can explain all aspects of your DUI case, including DUI penalties and the issues surrounding your DWI arrest.

License Suspensions and DMV Proceedings

Do not delay. As a DUI lawyer, I have seen too many people unnecessarily lose their driving privileges. In California, it is critical that you request a DMV proceeding to review the suspension of your driver's license within 10 days of your arrest, or your driver's license will be automatically suspended. Even though your court date for the DUI charge may be 60 days out, your license will be taken away unless you specifically request this hearing. As your attorney, I can help you request this hearing and represent you before the DMV and in court.
