Orange County DUI Attorney

Santa Ana DUI Lawyer

If you have been charged with DUI in California, you need an experienced attorney to ensure that your rights are maintained throughout the process.  Drunk driving is very severely punished in California.  In fact, this state is known to have some of the harshest penalties in the entire country.  If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you can expect to face possible jail time, fines, community service, probation, license revocation/suspension and more.

Our lead attorney at the Law Offices of Thomas Tears has been an Orange County DUI lawyer for over 30 years.  We have the intimate familiarity with California drunk driving laws that you need – we am also very familiar with the tactics that police officers and law enforcement agents take with alleged drunk drivers.  Our DUI defense attorneys want to ensure that your rights are upheld throughout your case.  We have the legal knowledge and experience necessary to maximize your chances of avoiding harsh charges or, in some cases, having the charges dropped altogether.

Orange County DMV Hearing Attorney

When you are arrested for DUI, there are two aspects to your case.  The first is, of course, the criminal aspect.  You will be tried for whatever crimes you are charged for and you will then either be convicted or the charges will be dropped or lessened, depending upon your legal representation and the unique circumstances of your case.  The second is the DMV hearing that you will attend to determine what happens to your California driver’s license.  This hearing is extremely important because it is independent from your criminal charges, yet it deals exclusively with your freedom to drive.

Our founding DMV hearing lawyer has helped thousands of individuals retain their freedom to drive after being arrested or charged with DUI.  Don’t leave your right to operate a motor vehicle up to chance by retaining inexperienced legal counsel or none at all.

No matter what type of DUI charges you are facing, we can help you.  A second, third or fourth DUI or a felony DUI or DUI with injury can bring much more severe punishments including longer incarceration periods – if you are faced with any of these, you need a competent Orange County DUI lawyer to fight for you in court.
