DUI - Shawn George Law

Driving Under the Influence 
Drunk driving is sometimes referred to as Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (“DUI”) or Driving While Intoxicated (“DWI”). DUI is a serious criminal offense, one that must be addressed immediately. Rights can be lost without prompt action. Unless done properly, you could lose your driver’s license without a hearing!

At the Law Offices of Shawn M. George, a California law firm, we know how to proceed after a DUI arrest in a timely manner, protecting your freedom and your rights. YOU HAVE TEN DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR ARREST TO DEMAND AN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING FROM THE DMV. We have an exceptional record at these hearings resulting in many clients’ retaining their driving privileges. We also can advise you on how to obtain a Restricted License if you lose the hearing, shortening the normal four-month suspension to thirty days. We will explain to you the pros and cons of requesting a “Stay” on your suspension to allow you to drive until your hearing with the DMV.

We work hard defending our clients arrested for drunk driving. After years of experience handling DUI/DWI cases, we have an in-depth knowledge of California DUI Laws, the court process, Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”) licensing hearings, and all aspects of California DUI defense and related matters. We represent many clients from outside of California who get arrested while visiting here. Our office can make all court appearances for you, thereby allowing you to continue working without interruption.

Some of the DUI matters we handle include the following:

  • Drunk Driving
  • Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
  • Driving While Intoxicated
  • Field Sobriety Tests
  • Breath Testing
  • Alcohol Evaluations
  • Driver’s License Suspension
  • Underage Drinking and Driving
  • Vehicular Assault
  • Vehicular Homicide

We aggressively protect your rights, your freedom, your driving privileges, and your reputation. Some of the things we do include:

  • Immediately contacting the DMV to Protect Your Driving Privilege by Requesting a Hearing with the DMV
  • Obtaining a “Stay” on the Suspension
  • Obtaining a Restricted Driver’s License
  • Advising After a California DUI Arrest
  • Preparing Documents
  • Appearing before Department of Motor Vehicles Officers
  • Plea Bargaining
  • Drafting Motions
  • Trial Preparation, including Evidence Gathering
  • Appearing Before All California State Courts of Law

We understand that DUI arrests can be embarrassing and do everything possible to handle this confidential matter in a sensitive manner. If you have been accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, DUI, DWI, or any other driving offense, you need to speak with a lawyer immediately. Please contact us. We will aggressively protect your rights and your freedom.

Don’t waste your time with the big firms where a “case manager” or “paralegal” interviews you. At the Law Offices of Shawn M. George, you always meet with Shawn George, whom will be handling your case. With Shawn George, you receive personal attention.
