3 Things To Do Right After A DUI

February 28, 2015

You’ve just been arrested for a DUI. Do you know what to do next?

Here are three things you should do right after you get a DUI to protect your rights:

1. Call A DUI Attorney

Defending yourself against a DUI charge is something you do not want to do yourself. An experienced attorney will know many common defenses, such as the rising blood alcohol defense , and how to apply it to your case.

2. Request a DMV Hearing

After a DUI, the DMV will automatically suspend your license for one year. You only have 10 days to request a DMV hearing to contest the suspension.

3. Write Down Every Detail of the Arrest

Help your attorney and give him as many details as you can. To help you remember as much as possible, sit down and write down everything you can remember about what happened before, during, and after your arrest. Every detail counts, even if it may seem irrelevant to you now.

If you need a Sacramento DUI attorney, contact Attorney Matthew C. Tabo at (916) 504-2660  for a free consultation.
