F&Q:
1. How long does a DUI stay on my record in California?
Like all crimes, a DUI conviction stays on your criminal record for life, unless you take stept to expunge your case after the conviction, and after the probationary period has ended. DUI convictions are “priorable” for 10 years following your date of violation. This means that your conviction can be used to lead to more serious penalties of any other DUI you get within 10 years of your prior DUI. DUI convictions also affect your insurance rates and future employment. However, even if you are convicted of a DUI, your lawyer can help you expunge (dismiss) the conviction after you complete probation (usually a 3-year period), restoring your clean record.
2. Can a Persian DUI attorney help with my DMV hearing too?
Absolutely! Your DUI lawyer can represent you at your DMV hearing, challenge the suspension of your driver’s license, and ensure your rights are protected both in court and with the DMV. DMV hearings are complex and non-lawyers are simply not equipped to effectively handle them without qualified legal representation. In fact, most lawyers are not properly trained to handle DMV hearings unless they have spent years learning about them and handling such hearings. We have been routinely conducting DUI hearings since 2001!
3. How much does it cost to hire a Persian DUI lawyer?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case, but at California Criminal Defense Center, we offer free consultations and credit card options or payment options. We’ll discuss your case honestly and clearly before you make any decisions.
