The state of California is running a pilot program for DUI arrests in Shasta County. This program provides the county with the money and resources they need to pursue and prosecute people suspected of DUI. The DUI system is tough enough as it is, imposing serious penalties for a conviction. With the extra resources of the DUI pilot program, you want to make sure you have someone on your side who knows the "ins and outs" when it comes to your rights and freedom.

Not all drunk driving charges are the same. If you have multiple offenses on your record or your DUI resulted in an injury, you will face even more serious potential consequences. If you are a professional driver, your CDL could be in permanent danger. Taking a look at your specific case, we will build a DUI defense tailored to your needs.
DMV and Administrative Concerns
In addition to your criminal charges, your DUI will result in administrative concerns as well. The two proceedings have little effect on one another, so you will have to be prepared to fight a battle on two fronts. The DMV will automatically suspend your license for four months, one month after your DUI unless you take proper action within 10 days of your arrest. If you are convicted of drunk driving, the DMV will reevaluate your case. We can help you retain your driving privileges or at least "stay" license suspensions until the necessary facts are determined to challenge the action being taken by DMV.
BUI Defense Lawyer with Experience
With over 365 miles of shoreline, Shasta Lake is a haven for vacationers who love boating, waterskiing and everything that comes with it. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office and National Park Service heavily patrols both Shasta and Whiskeytown Lakes where one beer or drink can mean the difference between a night on the lake...or in jail. John M. Kucera helped create the BUI (Boating Under the Influence) enforcement program in the 1980's and is well-versed in defending those cases.
