Driving under the influence
A DUI arrest usually starts two clocks: the criminal case, and a separate Department of Motor Vehicles action that can suspend a license. There is a short deadline to request a DMV hearing.

Possession, sales, transportation, and manufacturing are not the same charge. Some files have a path other than a conviction. The charging paper decides which path is open.
A call to the police often ends in an arrest, and a protective order can issue the same day. The person who called does not decide whether the case continues. The prosecutor does.
Assault, battery, robbery, and other injury accusations. The first questions are what was alleged, who saw it, and whether release conditions already limit contact or travel.
California restricts firearms and other weapons. A gun allegation can stand alone or be added to another case, and it can change the sentencing exposure.
Cases built on documents, accounts, and alleged deceit. These files are slow to read and easy to misunderstand from a single police report.
A conviction can outlast the sentence, including registration. These matters are read carefully before the office decides whether it can take the case.
Some completed sentences can be dismissed from a public record under California law. An appeal has its own short filing window. Both are reviewed only when the statute allows it.
Call or send a short summary. Include the county and the next court date if you know them. A conversation does not make the office your lawyer.
