Evidence at a DUI DMV Hearing
Here, we discuss a DMV hearing that is part of a procedure after a Los Angeles DUI arrest. After a Los Angeles DUI arrest, a police officer will give the arrested person at least 2 documents: The DMV form DS 367, is given instead of a California driver’s license that is confiscated by the police officer. The notice of suspension explains that the suspension (or revocation) will start in 30 days and informs the driver that he or she has a right to request an “Admin Per Se” (APS) DMV hearing to determine 3 issues: If there is an allegation of refusal to submit to a chemical test, the DMV hearing determines 4 somewhat different issues: There are also “DUI […]

Русскоязычный адвокат по уголовным делам в Лос-Анджелесе:
ЧТО ДЕЛАТЬ, ЕСЛИ ВЫ МОЖЕТЕ ПОТЕРЯТЬ ГРИНКАРТУ ИЗ-ЗА УГОЛОВНОГО ДЕЛА? В 2017 году в Калифорнии был принят закон, позволяющий закрыть свое старое уголовное дело. Тепер, уголовный кодекс 1473.7, позволяет удалить уголовное дело, если подсудимый: “… может показать ошибку, из-за которой он не понял реальные или потенциальные иммиграционные последствия наказания.” В 2019 году Уголовный кодекс Калифорнии 1473.7 был еще раз изменен, позволив подсудимым оспаривать установление вины без доказательства неэффективной помощи адвоката. Это важно, поскольку подсудимым больше не нужно доказат, что их предыдущий адвокат являлся причиной иммиграционных проблем.

DUI ARRAIGNMENT
THE LAW: An arraignment is the first part of a DUI prosecution in Los Angeles Superior Court. During DUI arraignment, you can enter a guilty or not guilty plea, and, if you enter a “not guilty” plea, the court will continue your DUI case. The continuance after a DUI arraignment is determined by law so that you can have a trial 45 days from the arraignment. If you are in custody at the time of the arraignment, you can have a trial 30 days from the arraignment. Sometimes the judge can ask you to “waive time”, which means, that the trial will be longer then 30 or 45 days from the arraignment. You will have to agree to “waive time” […]
Penal Code 1538.5: Unreasonable Search & Seizure
One of the best ways to win your case without going to trial is to win a search and seizure motion. Search and seizure motion in California is known as a motion under PC 1538.5. California Penal Code section 1538.5 does not allow police to search you or your car without a good reason. →When the police do not have a good reason to stop you, you have an “unreasonable search”, which is a violation of the 4th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the California Constitution, and California Penal Code statute 1538.5. In a situation like this, you must file a motion to suppress the evidence that the police are trying to use at trial to prove that you are […]
DUI Refusal in Los Angeles
, Any driver arrested for a DUI in Los Angeles is required under California state law to submit to a chemical test. This test may be a blood test, a breath test, or, in rare cases where neither is available, a urine test. A DUI refusal in Los Angeles—that is, refusing to submit to a chemical test after a lawful DUI arrest—is treated much more seriously than a standard DUI. As an attorney handling DUI cases in Los Angeles, I regularly defend clients facing refusal allegations and help them avoid the harsh consequences that come with these allegations. How Los Angeles Police Advise Drivers About Chemical Testing When a Los Angeles police officer makes a DUI arrest, the officer must read, […]
Los Angles DUI Attorney Cost
How much does a good DUI lawyer cost? The price of hiring a professional DUI defense attorney to help you fight your case in the Superior Court and at the Administrative Per se hearing varies between practitioners. It is not uncommon to hear that some lawyers will charge as little as $500.00 to represent defendants in court. On the other hand, it is also possible to hire an attorney who values his services extremely high and to pay $10,000.00 or more for even pretrial representation. Typically, it is not advisable to hire attorneys on the low end of the price range mostly because they will be either inexperience or not motivated to litigate the criminal case to get the best possible […]
Helmandollar plea or How to Keep Driver’s License after DUI
Typically, any DUI conviction or an adverse finding by the DMV at an APS hearing will result in a loss of driver’s license. Short of pleading to a reduced charge (a wet reckless or a dry reckless) and getting a set aside at the Admin Per Se hearing, the driver’s license will be lost for a period depending on number of priors. An attorney can negotiate a DUI plea that will result in no loss of license. Under a 1992 decision from the Court of Appeals, a plea to a VC 23152(a) and an explicit finding of not guilty on VC 23152(b) will result in set aside from the DMV and a no-loss of license to the driver. Around 1992, Mark […]
Introduction of the 3rd digit of Chemical Tests Results in DUI Prosecution in Los Angeles (and elsewhere)
Often the chemical test blood alcohol level results in the police reports are reported to the third digit (e.g. instead of reporting the results to be 0.08%, it is reported as 0.089%). This can be important for defending Los Angeles DUI because of the human tendency to round off the results to the next closest round digit. That means that when the third digit is more than .05, the jurors, upon hearing it, will have a more difficult time accepting a lower number than they would, had the results been less than .05. It, therefore, often does not benefit the defendants to have the 3rd digit of the breath test results to be used in a criminal prosecution such as […]
