Experienced Sacramento DUI Attorney – Former Sacramento County Prosecutor
Representation throughout the Sacramento Valley and San Joaquin Valley
An arrest for drunk driving can happen to anyone who has gotten behind the wheel to drive after consuming alcohol, regardless of age, class or race. Whether you are facing DUI/DWI charges in California for the first time or have past DUIs, it is strongly recommended that you work with a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. These are not situations to be taken lightly. Please contact Michael Wright to discuss your case.
Consequences After a DUI
You may be asking yourself: "Why do I need to hire an attorney?" Before you facing these charges alone, you might want to consider that there are serious consequences for DUI convictions. DUI convictions go on your record and affect everything from your ability to get a job, secure housing, and stay employed. In addition, you can lose your driver's license and any professional license you may hold. Depending on how many DUIs you have, you could be facing jail time or a significant prison sentence.
Criminal defense attorney Michael Wright has the experience and knowledge to effectively represent you. As a former Sacramento County prosecutor, he has an idea of how the prosecutor will bring the case against you. He will ensure that your rights are protected and that all options are explored in preparing your defense strategy, including whether alternative sentencing options are available. He is an experienced trial lawyer who will do what is in your best interest.
Suspension of Your Driver's License
In addition to defending the criminal charges, he will also help to get your drivers' license back. There is only a 10 day window from the date of the arrest to request a DMV hearing to put a stop to the automatic suspension of your license that takes effect 30 days after the arrest. Attorney Wright routinely represent clients at DMV hearings to show that they do not pose a risk to other drivers. This often allows clients to maintain their driver's licenses.
