Newport Beach DUI Attorney

About DUI in Orange County

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws in California are strict and aggressively enforced by law enforcement throughout Newport Beach. Anyone driving in the state with .08% or higher blood alcohol content (BAC) can be arrested or charged with DUI. Officers can conduct a traffic stop on anyone they believe to be driving erratically or in some unsafe manner which they believe may be as a result of intoxication. Once stopped, a person is normally given a field sobriety test, where they are given certain standardized actions to perform which can indicate impaired motor control skills. If you or someone you know has been arrested for DUI, it is very important to contact an experienced DUI defense attorney to provide you with the legal advice you will need in order to fight your charges. The Law Offices of Scott D. Hughes has helped numerous clients with their DUI charges and will work aggressively to provide you with the best outcome possible.

Once you are arrested your license will be taken and you will be given a temporary license good for only 30 days. Within 10 days of your arrest you must schedule a DMV Hearing to dispute your license suspension. Failing to schedule that hearing will result in loss of your license after the 30 days. At your DMV Hearing it is very important to have strong legal counsel to challenge any evidence against you so as to stop your license suspension. Losing your license could result in large fines, possible loss of employment and increased insurance rates, among other consequences.

You will also require representation for your criminal case, to fight your DUI charges. With a careful review of everything that transpired during your traffic stop, arrest and BAC testing, Mr. Hughes will dispute any evidence obtained that failed to meet correct procedural methods.
