DUI Defense

Facing DUI charges can be overwhelming. A conviction may result in license suspension, fines, increased insurance rates, and even jail time. Hamilton Law offers experienced legal representation to protect your rights and minimize the consequences.

DUI Defense Representation


If you’ve been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in California, understanding your legal options is crucial. DUI cases involve complex laws, strict deadlines, and both criminal and DMV proceedings that can impact your freedom and driving privileges.


DUI Charges & Penalties


California has some of the toughest DUI laws in the nation. Penalties may include:


  • License suspension or revocation
  • Hefty fines and court fees
  • Mandatory DUI education programs
  • Probation or jail time
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device


The severity of these penalties depends on factors such as prior DUI convictions, your blood alcohol content (BAC), and whether an accident or injury occurred.


DUI & Your DMV Hearing


After a DUI arrest, you have just 10 days to request a DMV hearing to challenge your license suspension. This is a critical step that is separate from your court case. Missing this deadline can result in an automatic suspension.

Hamilton Law will represent you at both your DMV hearing and in court, working to protect your driving privileges and contest evidence such as breathalyzer results or field sobriety tests.


DUI Defense Strategies


Every case is unique, and Hamilton Law uses tailored defense strategies, such as:


  • Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
  • Questioning the accuracy of breath or blood tests
  • Identifying procedural errors or violations of your rights
  • Negotiating reduced charges or alternative sentencing


Why Legal Representation Matters


Without skilled representation, you risk maximum penalties, loss of driving privileges, and long-term consequences on your record. Hamilton Law will advocate for your best possible outcome and protect your rights every step of the way.

Before you plead guilty or speak with prosecutors, consult with us to review your options.
