Alert: If you have been arrested for DUI in California, one of the most important steps you need to take – if not the most important – is to immediately hire an attorney who is both experienced and knowledgeable where California DUIs are concerned.
If you’ve been arrested for a DUI in California, and have been charged, you’re going to face a DUI court appearance. As just mentioned, make sure you get a lawyer right away. They will need to appear with you every time you go to court. That way, your rights will be completely represented in a proper manner.
You’ll want to give yourself every possible chance to come out of this in a positive light. Your attorney will be of great assistance in this pursuit. But there are going to be some things that you can do, as well, to assure a better outcome.
Here’s some advice. (The following is in no specific order.)
MADD Victim Impact Panel Program
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) offers a program that deals with victim impact. It was originally put together to demonstrate drinking and driving realities. You will receive a certificate of verification after the end of the class you attend. So it can be filed with the court, make sure that the certificate finds its way to your attorney.
Alcohol Education Class
You will be required, if your license is suspended, to take an alcohol education class. These classes can vary and take different amounts of time to complete. With whichever provider you choose, you may also inquire about an alcohol therapy class before you even attend your court date. Shortly, we’ll introduce you to one of the best places to go for this kind of mentoring, counseling, and classes.
Community Service
You may be expected to participate in a certain amount of community service after a DUI conviction. If, before your court date, you participate in community service, you will be able to reduce the hours you normally would need to have fulfilled and get ahead of the game.
Depending on where you live, you may be required to register for community service in person, but sometimes you can mail or fax in your forms for registration. Contact your county’s public service office to find out which applies in your case.
Note: The court will not perceive your taking part in the above-mentioned as an admission of guilt. You are simply doing what you can to try and assure a better outcome following a DUI arrest and possible court appearance. Contacting a knowledgeable, experienced lawyer – one who is completely familiar with California DUI cases – is your absolute best bet.
