Has Your Driver’s License been Suspended?

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

After a drunk driving arrest, you may think that your most important task is the recovery of your vehicle. While that is an important step in getting your life back to normal, your troubles have just begun. You face some tough decisions about your legal representation.

A DUI arrest triggers two legal actions-a criminal DUI charge and an administrative proceeding that will likely result in a driver’s license suspension. You will need a Driver’s License Suspension Lawyer who can address both problems.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin is an experienced DUI / drunk driving defense and criminal defense law firm. We represent clients in both the criminal proceedings and driver’s license suspension and restoration actions, including those involving commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs).

Contact us at 310.273.9600 to schedule your free consultation. Our goal is to help you deal successfully with both the criminal defense and the DMV aspects of your DUI arrest.

Do Not Delay Hiring a Beverly Hills Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
Following a DUI arrest, you have 10 days in which to request a DMV hearing regarding your driver’s license. If you do not ask for a hearing, you will get an automatic license suspension. Attorney Jonathan Franklin has extensive experience representing clients in both the criminal proceedings and in the driver’s license hearing related to a DUI arrest.

Our firm may be able to prevent your driver’s license suspension. If not, we will seek to help you obtain a temporary driver’s license that will enable you to go to and from work and perform other necessary tasks.

Driver’s License Restoration
The California Department of Motor Vehicles does not automatically restore your driver’s license. You have to ask for it and demonstrate to their satisfaction that you deserve your license. The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin can also seek the full restoration of your driver’s license following a DUI conviction or a license suspension for traffic violations.

DMV Administrative Hearings

Have You Had a DUI in the Los Angeles Area?

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

Representing Clients in the Los Angeles Area

If you are arrested in California for DUI (called DWI in other states), a series of legal events begins that can result in a jail sentence, a fine, and the suspension of your driver’s license. If you have already been convicted for drunk driving, the penalties for DUI increase.

For a free consultation right away, please call 310.273.9600

It is essential that you are represented by experienced counsel who can successfully deal with the various issues growing out of the arrest. In California, a person charged with DUI will have their license confiscated by the arresting officer. You will be given a piece of paper that functions as a temporary license. Your temporary license should indicate that your license will be suspended within 30 days unless you schedule a DMV hearing to resolve the matter. You have only 10 days after your arrest to schedule a DMV hearing. You will also have an opportunity to enter a pre-trial motion to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges against you if an officer failed to follow proper procedure or stopped your car without reasonable suspicion.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin has helped numerous clients face and overcome the challenges that a DUI arrest presents. Contact us at 310.273.9600 to schedule your free consultation. We may be able to help you.

After a DUI Arrest in Los Angeles
We represent clients in drunk-driving cases, including:
First-time DUI
Felony DUI
DUI with injuries
Driver’s license suspension and restoration
Hit-and-run
Traffic violations

If you are a student at UCLA, USC, or any other local college or university in the Los Angeles and the Southern California area, an underage DUI arrest can affect your ability to get a driver’s license and create other complications for you. If marijuana is found in your car as well, a drug possession conviction could affect your eligibility for financial aid. We can review your situation and case and discuss how best to resolve your underage or drug possession charge.

Achieving a Positive Outcome in DUI Cases in Los Angeles
Just because your breath or blood-alcohol tested .08 or above does not mean that conviction on the charge is a certainty. There may be procedural, mechanical, or biological factors on which a successful defense can be based. For example, the police may have made an improper stop. The breath or blood test may not have been conducted correctly. Or, the breath testing machine may not have been in proper working order.

The Law Offices of Jonathan Franklin will thoroughly investigate all of these factors and conduct a vigorous defense. Possible outcomes in this situation might include dismissal of the charge, a reduction of the charge, or victory at trial.

An Experienced Plea Negotiator - Beverly Hills DUI Lawyer
In some DUI cases, however, a trial may not be the best solution. It may be better to negotiate a plea agreement that enables you to move forward in your life without the expense or risk of a trial. Beverly Hills DUI Attorney Jonathan Franklin is a former prosecutor and an experienced negotiator. He has a record of success in negotiating and obtaining reduced charges and mitigated penalties for clients in the Los Angeles and the Southern California area. When it is appropriate, he will seek such an outcome for you and present you with all of your options.
