Welcome to my site - Where you get arrested is the important factor for where your court will be (it is also listed on your citation or bail paperwork, usually). Most people arrested in Mendocino County go to court in Ukiah or possibly in Fort Bragg. For Sonoma County, Santa Rosa. The Napa Court is in Napa. You may go to Vallejo or Fairfield if arrested in Solano County. And in Marin County, the court house is at the Civic Center in San Rafael.
If you're here, you or a friend may need a criminal defense attorney. To best assist the case before court or the DMV, you should take it seriously and do a few things to assist your attorney. You may need the public defender if you can't afford a private attorney. At the DMV, there is no public defender and the hearing officers are trained to win the case.
First, you should write down everything you can remember about what happened before, during and after dealing with the police. The police are trained to win their case too, so every detail can help your public defender or private attorney.
In DUI cases, writing down a complete report from your perspective is important. What did you do the day of the incident. What did you eat and drink during the hours before the police contact. Did you do any drugs. What did they say? What did you say? How were the tests done - did the officer(s) follow procedures properly? Every detail can help you win your case. Every detail can help show you didn't commit the crime. Just because you're accused doesn't mean you're guilty.
Second, you should beware of any mail solicitations you receive from attorneys, insurance companies, or in vehicle breathalyzers. Your attorney can help you decide what to do next to keep your driving privilege and your job.
Third, attorney's fees vary widely. For DUI, some attorneys don't charge much cause they just do the paperwork for you and plead you guilty or no contest. Others check out your case thoroughly and counsel you on what to do. Some attorneys take every case to a jury and that costs the most especially if you appeal the decisions.
As you attorney, I check the case out by obtaining the reports, videos, audios, test records, and compare it to your side of the incident. Sure, you may not have a case, but you shouldn't make that decision by yourself.
Give me a call or text and I'll help you at no charge for your first consultation.
If you need a referral to another area of the state, I can do that too. Just email jdale@joshdale.com, or call or text either (707) 520-4350 or (415) 203-4350. Make sure you leave your contact information in case I'm working on another case when you contact me!

For the vast majority of people, a DUI arrest brings a high level of angst and personal concern. The very thought of being jailed for a period of time raises many of these concerns.
