California DUI Defense and License Reinstatement
Terrance K. McCleerey — Salinas and Monterey Criminal Defense Lawyer
DUI convictions can have a serious effect your future. With more than 20 years of experience defending clients against drunk driving charges, we can help you minimize the effects of DUI charges.
Driving Under the Influence
Your driver's license and professional licensure can be affected by DUI convictions. If you have been charged with driving under the influence, we can help you regain your driving privileges and avoid professional and administrative consequences. Contact us today to discuss how to protect your livelihood through your DUI defense.
Even a first conviction of a DUI can lead to time in jail. Our goal is to help you minimize or eliminate the time you are required to spend in custody. We will work with the authorities to review the tests that were administered in your case. If the Breathalyzer or field sobriety tests were not performed correctly, we can use that information in your DUI defense.
DUI is not just drunk driving. Driving under the influence of drugs, including prescription medications, can also result in the same charges.
If you are facing a more serious DUI — repeat offense or offense during which someone was injured or killed — contact us immediately.
License Reinstatement
If you are arrested with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, your license will be suspended for 30 days. We will guide you through the process of having your driver's license reinstated.
Driving with a temporary or restricted license can help people facing more serious drunk driving charges with reinstatement later.
- We can help you obtain a temporary license for 30 days. This period can be extended at a hearing.
- We can request a hearing to obtain a restricted license. This license would allow you to travel to and from your job so that DUI charges do not negatively affect your ability to work.
If you are seeking a temporary or restricted license, we will request the necessary hearings and attend them with you. There are strict timelines for requesting restricted or temporary licenses. Contact us as soon as your driving privileges are in jeopardy so that we can start the process.
Commercial driver's license (CDL) standards regarding DUI are more strict. You could lose your CDL after even one DUI conviction. Contact us to fight against DUI charges and maintain your driving privileges.
We have over 20 years of experience, and we work with the California legal system, rather than against it. Call our Salinas or Monterey office or e-mail us to discuss your DUI case. We accept Visa and MasterCard for your convenience.
