The steps you take immediately after a DUI arrest can affect your case. If you have been arrested for a DUI in California, here are three important things to do:

1️⃣ Contact a DUI attorney: An experienced DUI attorney can help you understand your case, your options, and the next steps.

2️⃣ Request a DMV hearing: You have only 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing to challenge the suspension of your driver’s license.

3️⃣ Document the details: Write down what you remember about the traffic stop, what you drank, and other details about the arrest while the details are still fresh.

After a DUI arrest, receiving the right guidance can help you make informed decisions about your case and your driving privileges.

Behind every criminal case is a person going through what may be one of the most difficult times in their life.

That’s why compassion and empathy are an important part of how we represent our clients. Along with providing knowledgeable and experienced legal representation, we take the time to understand the person behind the case, what they are going through, and what matters most to them.

Facing charges can bring more than legal uncertainty. Fear, judgment, and other people’s opinions can add another layer of stress during an already difficult time.

While you may not be able to control what others think or say, you can focus on the choices you make and the steps you take moving forward.

In this short video, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara County Criminal Defense Attorney Kara Stein-Conaway shares three practical wellness tips for staying grounded, recognizing your progress, and focusing your energy on what you can control while navigating criminal charges.
