DUI

Approximately 1 million arrests for driving under the influence happen each year in the United States, and California leads the country in DUI arrests. A DUI arrest can happen when you least expect it. Hiring an experienced DUI attorney is the first step to protecting yourself and your interests.

What to do

If you have been arrested for a DUI, hiring an experienced attorney is the most crucial next step. DUI cases come with unique challenges, from scheduling a DMV hearing to reviewing all the evidence against you. Contact a competent DUI attorney immediately so your rights are protected from day one.

Why hire a private attorney?

Public Defenders are often overwhelmed with excessive caseloads and limited resources. A DUI conviction affects employment opportunities, can carry custody time, and can carry immigration consequences. A private attorney controls their workload and answers to you, fighting the charges at every step rather than looking for the quickest plea.

Why Jorge?

Jorge has 25 years of experience and has handled over 1,000 DUI cases in California. He fights the charges at every step, from the initial contact with law enforcement through trial, and tailors any plea agreement to the client’s needs, including immigration and scheduling considerations.

Process

After an arrest, the first step is scheduling a DMV hearing, which must happen within 30 days, to fight for your driving privileges. Jorge and his team then request and review all available discovery and file motions to exclude improperly obtained evidence. With decades of relationships built with prosecutors and the court, Jorge negotiates the best available plea agreement, or takes the case to trial when that is the client’s best path.

Offerings

Jorge is based in San Diego but travels throughout California to handle DUI cases, including in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Bakersfield.
