Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my license after a DUI arrest?

If you are arrested for DUI in Orange County, it will trigger two cases. One is the criminal case, and the other is a case with the DMV regarding your driver’s license. Upon your arrest, the officer will likely seize your license and provide you with a pink paper. From that moment, you only have ten days to set up a DMV hearing where your attorney can fight for you so that you can keep your driving privileges.

What punishments am I facing for a DUI in Orange County?

The punishment you face will depend upon the circumstances of your case. Many factors will be considered, including whether this is your first DUI conviction, if you caused any injuries or death of others because of your DUI, and your BAC level. For a detailed description of possible punishment, visit our DUI sentencing page.

How do I enter a court-ordered alcohol program?

It is common in DUI cases for sentences to include a requirement to attend an alcohol program. If this is part of your sentence, you will need to find a local facility where these programs are offered. Visit our resource center to find a list of court-approved self-help programs in Orange County.
