San Francisco DUI Lawyer
San Francisco police and prosecutors take DUI charges extremely seriously. A conviction for a first offense can result in mandatory time in jail, driver's license suspension for six months and a heavy fine. The penalties are severe because prosecutors expect this to be the last time you are charged with drunk driving.
If you have been charged with DUI in San Francisco, you will be facing many important decisions. Before you talk to prosecutors, make sure you understand your rights. Avoiding a DUI conviction is your most important priority.
