DUI - DWI - Drunk Driving Defense

Robert J. Winston - Northern California DUI Attorney

A California D.U.I. can be a charged as a violation of 23152(a) and/or 23152(b) or 23153(a) and/or 23153(b) V.C. 23153 V.C. charges are the most serious, and involve an injury accident. If you have been charged with any of these crimes, it is important to realize how much is at stake. D.U.I.s are criminal cases; and over the last few years the laws have become more and more harsh in punishing those convicted of this crime. Punishments may include very heavy fines, long and costly D.U.I. school, expensive ignition interlock devices, formal or informal probation, loss of your drivers license, and long jail (or even state prison) sentences. A conviction for D.U.I. may also give you problems on the job and greatly increase your motor vehicle insurance premiums, perhaps by thousands of dollars over the years.

Your license is threatened! The officer has probably already taken your license away. Do you want it back? Robert J. Winston can help! You (or your lawyer) must request a D.M.V. hearing date within 10 days of your D.U.I. to preserve your license from Administrative Per Se suspension or revocation. If you don't do this, you may be giving up your ability to drive in California (the D.M.V. doesn't care that you need your license). Out-of-state drivers licenses will usually be effected too. Your D.U.I. case deserves immediate attention. Whether you were jailed, cited, or just sent a letter and told when to appear, you already have a court date; but the D.M.V. has not yet set the hearing date you need to keep your license from being suspended.

Why hire Winston to help you with your D.U.I.? EXPERIENCE - He had been a lawyer since 1977; working both as a Prosecutor (Deputy District Attorney) and as a Defense Attorney handling hundreds of cases like yours. Winston routinely defends misdemeanor DUI cases, felony DUI cases, and manslaughter cases involving drinking drivers. He was the full-time Traffic Judge in Tulare County, and has occasionally been asked by the Court to volunteer to "help out" as a temporary judge. He knows and has worked with the prosecutors and judges who handle cases like yours. He has the knowledge and experience you need, and a good relationship with the people in court and at the D.M.V. No other lawyer can offer you these important advantages. And, he will take personal charge of your case and appear in court and/or at the D.M.V. himself. With his help, even the "guilty" may realize substantial savings on fines and greatly reduced jail time.

Whether you are "guilty" or not! With the severe penalties facing you, you need a lawyer to look over your case and stand with you in court and/or at the D.M.V. Going to court or to the D.M.V. alone is foolish (and can be an intimidating experience); harsh laws prevent judges from showing "mercy" or responding to personal hardships. Face it - going to court alone and making the wrong choices could be very expensive and severely disrupt your life. Robert J. Winston has helped thousands of people with their cases. Just because you were charged with a D.U.I. doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to end up with one; many times charges can be reduced or even dismissed through plea bargains, or your case won at trial! Don't give up your rights (or your job, your license or your freedom) without a fight. Think about it ... for surgery, you'd want an experienced doctor! For your D.U.I. you need an experienced lawyer! Your best choice is Robert J. Winston. He can help you with your case. Also, he specializes in "personal service", so let him take some of the worry away!
