DUI Defense Attorney San Francisco

Unfortunately it happens every year. Holiday party-goers have a little too much to drink and then decide to drive home. If you’ve been arrested for driving while under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI) and live in Alameda, DUI attorneys are there to help.

DUI attorneys are defense lawyers who specialize in cases involving alcohol or other substances, such as prescription or recreational drugs, which affect a person’s ability to drive. If you get arrested for drinking and driving this holiday season, you’ll want to find an experienced Alameda DUI attorney such as those at The Cardoza Law Offices to represent you.

Depending upon your personal circumstances, an Alameda DUI attorney can assist if:

Your driver’s license is revoked
In getting your driver’s license reinstated
By representing you if you’re called to go before the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Those facing vehicular manslaughter charges or being arrested for illegal, drug-related traffic arrests can rest assured the experienced attorneys in this office will do their best to get your charges reduced or even dropped.

To help you avoid needing an attorney due to holiday drinking and driving problems, it is better to follow these safe driving hints:

Before you leave to attend a holiday party, designate a driver who will not drink alcoholic beverages.
If you don’t have a designated driver, call a cab.
Another thing you may want to do is find a safe place to spend the night instead of getting on the road after you’ve been drinking.

No one wants or tries to get a DUI but it happens all too often. This holiday season if you’re faced with potential DUI or DWI charges, call an Alameda DUI attorney you can trust. Call The Cardoza Law Offices. They’re here to help you get a favorable outcome should you have a DUI related offense.

You can hear the sirens blaring. “Get on the ground now,” the cop screams. You’re forcibly shoved onto the ground or the hood of a car while your hands are cuffed behind you and then your put into a car to be taken away to the police station. At the station, you are put into that little room where they try to talk to you, scare you, make you say something that will incriminate yourself. Even if you’re innocent, you could walk away guilty just because you didn’t keep your mouth shut when you should have. What you need is a lawyer. And here we have a list of Oalkland defense lawyers who will happily stand with you and help you get the fair trial you deserve.

Now, a little background. We are not recommending any of these attorneys and anything said in this article should not be construed as legal advice. We’re not lawyers, just people who believe in the constitution and who know that everyone has the right to quality counsel at one of the most stressful times in their lives.

When you’re arrested, several things are required to be done by law. First, you must have your rights read to you. If your rights have not been read to you, do not remind the officer. It is his or her responsibility to do it and if they don’t, that may be cause for a mistrial. Second, while you really do have the right to remain silent, the cops will do whatever they can to get you to tell them something. Most people in these situations feel compelled to talk and think that by talking they can prove their innocence.

The best advice however is to just keep quiet and demand a lawyer. If you talk without your Oakland defense lawyers present, it’s your problem and the lawyer will not be able to help you later, so remember, keep it quiet until your lawyer arrives.
