Law Offices of Edward Haase
San Diego DUI Attorney
We provide the utmost
quality of defense for those accused of Drunk Driving, including DUI, DWI
and OUI charges.
What are the consequences
of a conviction?
Driver's license suspension or revocation,
fines, insurance rate increase, mandatory attendance at State or DMV approved alcohol
programs (offender's program), probation or jail time. Convictions will stay on your
record for 7 years or more.
If you or someone you love has
been charged with a DUI, it is in your best interest to acquire legal representation.
Whether the charges are felony or misdemeanor, you only have 10 days following your
arrest to request a DMV hearing.
What
happens at the DMV hearing?
The DMV hearing, also called an Administrative Per Se hearing
(APS hearing), the Department of Motor Vehicles must prove:
1)
The arresting officer had reason to believe the driver was
under the influence of a
controlled substance.
2)
The arrest was lawful and legal.
3)
Blood Alcohol level was 0.08% or more at the time of driving.
(0.01% for those
under the age of 21)
This means that your case can be won on a technicality, regardless
of whether your blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal
limit. It is in your best interest to have an attorney at
your side to appropriately protect your rights.
What about court?
You will still have to go to court to fight your case before a judge. We
will find you the best possible angle to present your case. Don't plead
guilty without first consulting with an experienced attorney. Before you enter a plea,
we will review and discuss with you the police reports, lab results, and procedures at the
time of your arrest. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, you have the option of not
appearing in court at all; Haase Law can present your case on your behalf.
Never think that a BAC above
the legal limit automatically results in a guilty conviction. Let us work out the fine
print for you.
