<div id="_mcePaste" style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><strong>Are you a victim of the Labor Day DUI witch hunts?&nbsp;</strong>I can save you much effort if you've been arrested for DUI drunk driving or other minor criminal charges. I am one of the more experienced San Francisco Bay Area DUI attorneys here to help you through the criminal justice system and the Department of Motor Vehicles.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">In your search of the drunk driving websites and attorney, let me point you only to the California DUI Lawyers Association for second opinions - it is the only recognized association in California - don't believe anything you've heard about unrecognized non-California associations or marketing institutions.</span></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">There are different types of DUI lawyers available to you. I am one who charges a fair fee and has great success in court and before the Department of Motor Vehicles. I work hard for my clients and you can afford me as your attorney since there are three ways your case may be handled:</span></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">1. Path of Least Resistance - don't fight case</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">This means going to court at least once and is a dangerous approach in most cases.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">2. Check out case for settlement - plea bargaining</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">This means going to court at least 3-5 times and leaves open your right to fight.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">3. All out trial and appeal.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">This means going to court many times fighting all the way.</span></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">In any of the above options, you still fight the DMV in case your license can be saved - as you've probably read, you must contact California DMV within 10 days of arrest - no exceptions apply.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><br /></span></p>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="font-size: 120%;"><span style="font-size: 110%;">Beware of the lawyers who are sponsoring ads all over the place - big advertising budgets don't necessarily make good DUI attorneys in the San Francisco Bay Area or Northern California.

Dale, Esq.</name></author><published>2009-10-16T02:45:00Z</published><updated>2009-10-16T02:45:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Wouldn&rsquo;t it be great if you could just walk in sit down and talk to the prosecution about your California&nbsp;DUI case? Explaining to them that you had a few drinks, but that you really weren&rsquo;t driving while drunk, like the arresting officer said.</p>
<p>And you certainly didn&rsquo;t violate California DUI law.</p>
<p>Plus, you promise you won&rsquo;t do it again. So the drunk driving charge against you should just be dropped allowing you can to get on with your life after paying some reasonable fine.</p>
<p>But I can promise you, <strong>that isn&rsquo;t going to happen</strong> (at least not in that way).</p>
<p>Because the Prosecution&rsquo;s purpose is to convict you of violating California DUI law, put you in jail or on community service if they can, and take your license away for as long as they can. Beginning next year, in Alameda, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Tulare County, you can be forced to have a breathalyzer installed in your car!</p>
<p>In fact, if your DUI case goes the wrong way the penalties you face include losing your license for 30 days to a year, to three years, or more for continued DUI convictions . ... your insurance is going up three fold or be canceled...and you could even go to jail for up to 6 months or more in serious cases.</p>
<p>Plus, it doesn't end there. A conviction for violating California State's DUI Law is something that could haunt you for many years to come, even hurting you when you apply for a job.</p>
<p>I want to tell you, though, that with the right defense by an experienced California DUI lawyer who knows all there is to know about California&rsquo;s DUI law, the scenario I just described doesn&rsquo;t have to happen.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re reading this, you&rsquo;ve just found that lawyer.</p>
<p>My name is Joshua M. Dale. I'm a DUI attorney here in the San Francisco Bay Area.&nbsp; I focus on helping people just like you to resolve their DUI / DWI charges.</p>
<h3>Free Consultation and Review of Your DUI Arrest--$250+ Value</h3>
<p>You're probably like most people in California arrested for a DUI. You don't really know the right thing to do about it, and you don't know whether or not you can win if you fight your DUI arrest.</p>
<p>For both of these reasons, I'd like to offer you a free consultation to review your case and give you some advice and information on your DUI charge.</p>
<p>If you would like to meet with me, I will be happy to set up an appointment with you. That way you'll be able to learn all you need to know about your situation. This telephone conference is free to you, will last about half an hour, and there is no further obligation at all. In fact, until you agree, in writing, to hire me, you will never owe me any money.</p>
<p>To arrange for your free consultation, you can call <strong>415-750-4350</strong> and 24 hours a day.&nbsp; Someone from my office will get back to you as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Most importantly, when we talk I&rsquo;ll explain to you why your situation may not be hopeless.</p>
<p>Here's what I mean.</p>
<h3>I'll Help You Keep Your License and Your Freedom</h3>
<p>To begin with, I'd like you to know that there's a good chance I can help. You see, with my experience and my immersion in DUI law I&rsquo;ve identified many possible challenges that can be made to the charges you are facing? I'll raise the applicable ones for you so your DUI defense is as strong as possible.</p>
<p>My goal is to get you off, to keep your record clean, and to prevent you from losing your freedom and your license to drive. You see . . . my practice is based on the belief that you were arrested for a DUI here in California when you shouldn't have been.</p>
<p>At the very least, I'll make sure that you're being treated fairly.</p>
<p>When you retain me you'll get expert legal help from a DUI&nbsp;attorney who knows how to guide your case through the complexities of the legal system because I've done it numerous times. You'll be certain you are being treated fairly by the judicial system because I'll insist:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>that the Prosecuting Attorney provide us with the name and address of anyone he plans to call as a witness, as well as copies of every written or recorded statements of their testimony. This will allow us to prepare the kind of questions that can weaken the state&rsquo;s case against you.</li>
<li><strong>that the Prosecutor provide us with any information or material he has which would show that you are not guilty of the charges against you, or which may help you get a lighter sentence.</strong></li>
<li>on receiving copies of records showing that the equipment used for tests was functioning properly, and that the person giving the tests was properly certified. </li>
<li>on proof that you were advised of all of your rights. If you weren't, the Prosecutor's case may be weakened. </li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, what looks simple gets pretty complex. As your DUI attorney I will look into all of these things for you to ensure that we present the best possible case.</p>
<h3>Here's How I'll Protect Your Rights</h3>
<p>The Prosecuting Attorney prosecutes these types of cases all day long. He knows--and is willing to use against you--all of the fine legal points that are available to him.</p>
<p>California&nbsp;law says that he only needs to prove that after drinking you were not able to drive your car safely or that your blood alcohol exceeded a certain limit. That sounds pretty cut and dried, but it's not quite as simple as that.</p>
<p>You see, if challenged, the prosecutor also has to show that the arresting officer made the arrest properly, that you were properly advised of your rights, that the equipment he used to test you was working accurately, and even that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it. If he gets information which may prove you innocent, an attorney can make him give you that information also.</p>
<p>That's where I come in.</p>
<p>I know how and where to make the proper motions which force the Prosecutor to prove that all the steps used in your arrest were done properly. If they weren't, then his case is weakened.</p>
<p>I can't promise you that I'll be successful because each case is unique. Maybe the judge assigned to your case is more lenient on drunk driving cases, or maybe he is harsher on them. Maybe there are some things distinctive to your case, which are important. However, all things being equal, I think you'll find that I am well-skilled and that I fiercely protect your rights.</p>
<h3>Get The Legal Help You Need</h3>
<p>When we talk during your consultation, I will analyze the facts of your case, give you my opinion about it, and discuss my approach to it. I'll explain how we'll protect your legal rights, what your options are, and how the whole judicial process works, so you'll know exactly what happens.</p>
<p>Plus, you'll learn how I will guide you through the court system and how I'll champion your rights, using all my ingenuity and the options in the legal system to defend and protect you.</p>
<p>For example, I'll review the Complaint against you . . . the steps which were used to conduct the chemical and roadside tests against you to determine if they are valid . . . and I'll show you how the police officer's testimony can be discredited.</p>
<p>I will also tell you about my fees. Anything you tell me during this and all other meetings will be confidential, whether or not you retain me.</p>
<p>In summary, with my help you'll get:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A free initial phone consultation.</strong> </li>
<li><strong>Personalized attention.</strong> I'll return your phone calls promptly, keep you informed, and answer all questions to help you put the pieces back together.</li>
<li><strong>Reasonable fees</strong>, and you'll know in advance how you'll be charged, based upon the level of service you desire.</li>
<li><strong>Experience</strong>. I've helped people just like you for sixteen years.</li>
<li><strong>Aggressiveness</strong>. While I accept peaceful settlements, I take a tough stance to protect you.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, if you want an attorney you can talk to, who understands what you want, who is interested in you and your situation, and who fights to get you results, <strong>call me at 415-750-4350 for your free consultation.</strong></p>
<p>The first meeting is free, so there is no risk on your part; and you'll be able to get all your questions answered. When we are finished, if you're not convinced that I will be able to protect you to your complete satisfaction, then you can leave and I won't trouble you again...and you'll <br /> owe me nothing.</p>
<p>Plus at the end of the consultation you'll be more knowledgeable, you'll know what to expect in the judicial process, and be able to make more informed decisions about your case.</p>
<p>And by the way, your arrest may have included a suspension / revocation or cancellation of your driving privileges. You only have 10 days to request a hearing from when you took the breath, blood or urine test and recorded over .08 by breath / blood / urine test. If you refused the breath / blood / urine test) you have 10 days to file a request for hearing to respond to this issue. As a courtesy to you, I will tell you what you must do about this, at no charge, just for calling me.</p>
<p>Please remember, the charges against you are serious and can carry severe consequences. <strong>You can discover for yourself how I can help save your license and freedom by calling me </strong><strong>at 415-750-4350 for your free consultation.</strong></p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />Joshua M. Dale</p>
<p>P.S. In case you're still undecided about who, if anyone, to go to, let me tell you one final thing--it may be important. My job is to fight for and fully protect your rights.&nbsp; I promise to do everything I can to handle any and all charges related to your California DUI arrest.</p>
