Riverside and San Bernardino DUI Defense Law Firm

Have you been arrested for Drunk Driving?

First and most important, if you or family member has been  arrested in California for  Driving Under the Influence or more commonly referred to as a DUI  you have 10 days after the arrest to contact a California DMV office to schedule a DUI DMV Administrative hearing or your California license will be automatically suspended.

This simple fact makes it vitally important to contact a California DUI attorney as soon as possible after the arrest for a DUI.  The Law Offices of Ryan P. McClure can assist individuals that have been arrested for DUI in both the DMV hearing and the criminal hearings associated with a DUI arrest throughout California.

An individual that has been charged with a DUI has either been pulled over by law enforcement due to erratic driving or at a sobriety checkpoint at which time a law enforcement officer has questioned the individual operating the vehicle or motorcycle. The law enforcement officer may give a variety of tests like the filed sobriety test or breath test to the individual that has been stopped. Once the individual is arrested they will be given the choice to a blood or breath test when they are in custody. If however, the arrested individual refuses to give a sample through either a breath or blood test, their license will be automatically suspended for one year. An arrest for DUI may subject the arrested individual to fines, license suspension, and possibly jail time so it is important to contact a DUI Lawyer immediately.
