DUI LAWYER IN BELLFLOWER, CALIFORNIA
Bellflower sits between the 91 and 605 freeways, just north of Long Beach. The city contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, and deputies make DUI arrests on Bellflower Boulevard, Alondra Boulevard, Artesia Boulevard, and nearby roads. The California Highway Patrol handles DUI arrests on the freeways.
A DUI arrest can affect your job, your insurance, and your ability to drive. I help Bellflower drivers fight the charges and keep their licenses whenever possible.
Two Cases, Two Deadlines
Every DUI arrest leads to two separate cases:
- The DMV case. The DMV can suspend your license based on the arrest alone. You have just 10 days to request a hearing.
- The criminal case. The District Attorney decides whether to file charges. If charged, you will appear in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Winning one case does not automatically win the other. I handle both so nothing falls through the cracks.
Where Bellflower DUI Cases Are Heard
Bellflower DUI cases are heard in the Los Angeles County Superior Court's southeast district, often at the Downey Courthouse, 7500 E Imperial Highway, or the Norwalk Courthouse, 12720 Norwalk Boulevard.
Commercial Drivers
If you hold a commercial driver's license, a DUI can end your career. Commercial drivers face a 0.04% BAC limit while driving a commercial vehicle. A DUI in any vehicle, even your personal car, can lead to a one-year CDL disqualification. A second offense can mean a lifetime disqualification. If you drive for a living, it is critical to fight the case from the start.
Experience You Can Count On
Before becoming a defense attorney, I spent eight years with the Los Angeles Police Department. I know how DUI arrests are made and documented, and I know how to find the weaknesses in them. I give every client honest advice and a defense built around their goals.
