Los Angeles Out of State DUI Lawyers

Out of State DUI Defense Attorneys in Los Angeles County

What happens when a driver who lives and has a driver’s license in another state is arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in California? Will he or she face DUI penalties in both states? What about driver’s license suspension?

The Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys and lawyers at Gold & Witham understand exactly how to deal with out of state DUI arrests and charges. These can be more complex than a typical driving under the influence charge, and often there is a lot more at stake for an out of state driver who has been charged with a California DUI. Thus, our attorneys work together as a team to help defend out of state drivers who are facing Los Angeles DUI charges. Contact a Los Angeles DUI lawyer at our firm to find out how we can help you.

When a driver from another state is arrested for driving under the influence in California, he will face the DUI court process and a DMV hearing in California. Additionally, should he or she be convicted of DUI, California will impose criminal and DMV penalties. California will then report this conviction to the driver’s home state, which will likely impose DMV penalties as well. All but five states are members of the Interstate Drivers License Compact, which was formed on the foundation “One Driver, One License, One Record.” California is a member of the DLC and will report any traffic offenses to other states within the compact.
