If you have been arrested for a DUI in Orange County, you are probably overwhelmed and a bit frightened. The thought of being convicted of a crime or losing your driver license may be giving you nightmares.
You have a genuine reason for concern; however, with proper guidance from a skilled Orange County DUI attorney, you can survive this ordeal. You must act quickly as the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) demands that you notify the DMV within 10 days following your arrest. You will be forced to make very important decisions with little information but, if you have the right team on your side, these cases can often turn out to be a "life-lesson" as opposed to "life-altering" event.

In most DUI cases, those charged with driving under the influence of alchohol or drugs must fight two battles. It doesn't matter if you are being charged with misdemeanor DUI or felony DUI, the first battle is fought with the criminal courts. Second is a licensing battle to be fought with the California DMV. These are distinctly separate battles and the outcome of one does not affect the other. Essentially, this means that a person could have their criminal case reduced or dismissed only to lose their driving privilege at a hearing before the DMV.
Orange County is a melting-pot of various cultures, businesses, and families. The demographics vary tremendously but every person charged with a crime in Orange County is going to find themself prosecuted in one of only four criminal courts within the county... Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Fullerton or Westminster. These few OC courts handle all levels of criminal prosecution. Also, because of the close proximity to the California coast and the many lakes and rivers that people use for recreation, many residents own boats and other types of watercraft. It's important to remember that a DUI while operating a boat, referred to as BUI or boating under the influence, is just as serious as a DUI in a automobile or on a motorcycle and it's important to have a skilled BUI lawyer in Orange County protect your rights.
