San Mateo Felony DUI Lawyer

Typically, DUI is a misdemeanor charge in California. A felony DUI charge can be brought when a death or significant injury has resulted from a drunk driving accident. If you had three prior DUI convictions, or a prior felony DUI conviction, you might also be facing a felony charge.

You face license suspension also, and I handle this aspect of your case as well. A DMV hearing must be requested within 10 days of your arrest.

Certain cases can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. That is why it is so important to hire an attorney who focuses on criminal defense. I have been handling these cases for more than 35 years. I know the likelihood of negotiating down the charges and potential penalties.

In cases where there is a provable case against you, my strategy is to minimize the sentence and avoid jail time.

I know that you are worried about your future, your reputation, your family and your job. I am a supportive and understanding lawyer dedicated to aggressively fighting for you.

You may be surprised at what I can accomplish for you on driving under the influence or other charge. I have helped thousands of people like you and handled hundreds of trials. I am proud that I cannot only help you avoid harsh penalties, but also ease your mind.
