Redding DUI Defense Attorney
A DUI can cost you your license, your job, and your freedom. Put a former prosecutor on your side and fight for the best possible outcome.
A DUI arrest in California triggers two separate cases at once: a criminal case in Shasta County Superior Court, and a DMV action to suspend your license. The DMV clock is short. You generally have just 10 days to request a hearing.
That’s why the first call matters. We step in early, request your DMV hearing, examine every detail of the stop and the testing, and build the defense that gives you the best shot at a reduction, a dismissal, or a win at trial.
A defense built around the details.
Protect Your License
We request your DMV hearing fast and fight to keep you driving to work, school, and home.
Challenge the Evidence
We scrutinize the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood results for weaknesses.
Fight for a Reduction
From a “wet reckless” to a full dismissal, we pursue every avenue to reduce the impact on your life.
What happens next, step by step.
Arrest & DMV
Booking, release, and the 10-day window to request your DMV hearing.
Arraignment
Formal charges are read in court. We enter your plea.
Pretrial & Motions
We negotiate, file motions, and push to suppress weak evidence.
Resolution or Trial
A favorable plea, a dismissal, or an aggressive defense before a jury.
One firm for whatever comes with it.
