El Dorado County DUI Overview

Available for free, confidential consultations at (530) 410-6474

If you have been arrested for a DUI in El Dorado County, you have more than likely been given a notice to appear in court and a temporary license (The pink form). What the temporary license explains (although in the fine print) is that you have 10 days from the date of arrest to set a hearing with the California DMV to contest the DUI. The number to call in order to complete this crucial step is (916) 227-2970. The Sacramento Driver Safety Division of the DMV handles EL Dorado County DUI arrests. This step is crucial, it allows you to contest the DUI, the police report can be obtained from the DMV, and the DMV will not automatically take your license 30 days after the arrest date, as would normally happen if you did not set the hearing. Placerville DUI Lawyer Michael Rehm provides this service for all DUI clients, and representation at the DMV hearing is included in the flat fee.

The criminal court aspect of DUI defense is more complicated. There are several defenses that apply in DUI cases. There are several possible reductions in these cases as well, that can spare you having to do jail, community service, and overall damage control. From contesting the reason why you were pulled over, to ensuring that any breath or blood test result was legally obtained by law enforcement, DUI defense strategy can be complex, but a thorough understanding of the law and the science behind these cases can turn these cases upside down for the prosecution. Michael Rehm provides free consultations at (530) 410-6474. Call to find out what defense applies to your case.
