San Francisco DUI / DWI Lawyer
Strong Defense for First Time, Repeat and Felony DUI Offenses in Northern California
An arrest for DUI is more than an annoyance. You could lose your driver's license. Your insurance rates can increase dramatically. You will have to pay fines. You may even go to jail. If you are a commercial driver, you could lose your license and your livelihood.
The effects of a DUI conviction are cumulative and they stay on your driving record forever. Did you plead guilty to a DUI ten years ago? You will face more severe penalties today because of that long-ago plea. That's why it's so important to fight every drunk driving charge, even a misdemeanor first DUI offense.
Don't assume there is nothing you can do but plead guilty. If you've been charged with drunk driving in the San Francisco area, contact The Law Offices of Jeffrey B. Neustadt immediately. You have only 10 days to save your driving privileges. Get a lawyer on your case. Call us toll free at 866-758-6949 for a free consultation.
Defense attorney Jeffrey B. Neustadt will evaluate your situation and discuss possible defense strategies with you. He has defended people accused of DUI/DWI for more than 30 years. That's experience you need on your side in court.
Why Immediate Action is Important
In order to protect your driving privileges, you must contact the Department of Motor Vehicles to request an administrative hearing within 10 days of your arrest. We will file the request for you.
Attorney Neustadt can fight the administrative suspension of your driver's license at this stage, as well as the criminal case that will follow. We may be able to get the charges dropped and the case dismissed. If we cannot achieve that, we may be able to get you a hardship license so you can continue to drive for work, school and other essential purposes. The information we learn at the administrative hearing can also help us in your criminal case.
Why You Should Spend the Money to Beat the Charges
Despite what you may believe, it is possible to successfully defend against DUI/DWI charges, even felony DUI charges. Mr. Neustadt is very willing to take a DUI case to trial and to secure experts who can cast doubt on the evidence against you or prove your innocence completely.
An effective defense is not a cheap defense, but for many clients it is worth the effort. Particularly in the case of people who hold a commercial transportation license — truck drivers, taxi drivers, delivery drivers, limo drivers, even airline pilots — a DUI on your record can be devastating.
Potentially successful defense strategies include:
- Lack of probable cause by the police to stop and question you
- Improper police procedures during the field sobriety test
- Improper breath-testing procedures or machine errors
- Inaccurate test results due to medical problems or medications you are using
Jeffrey B. Neustadt will review every aspect of your case. If a viable defense strategy exists, our firm will find it.
