Being arrested for DUI can create confusion and anxiety about what comes next. Knowing how to act in the first few hours and days after your arrest is crucial.
Request a DMV hearing immediately. You only have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing to contest your license suspension.
Document everything. Write down your recollection of the incident while it’s fresh—where you were, what you drank (if anything), and how officers conducted sobriety tests.
Consult a DUI attorney. The legal system in Fremont, especially the Alameda County courts, can be complex. A knowledgeable lawyer can explain your options and help protect your driving privileges.
Facing DUI charges doesn’t mean you’re automatically guilty. With strategic guidance and timely action, you can work toward minimizing the consequences.
