California is home to some of the toughest DUI penalties in our nation. If you have recently been arrested for a DUI, odds are you are quickly learning just how tough these penalties can be. The drastic effects of a DUI are far reaching and include the loss of your driving privileges, expensive court fines and fees, jail time, and installation of an ignition interlock device. A DUI conviction may also lead to the loss of your job or professional license, a damaged reputation and even disqualification from lucrative job opportunities.

Our several years in courtroom experience have helped us find the most successful defenses to DUI charges and helped our clients avoid serious consequences.
THE DUI Process
YOU ONLY HAVE TEN DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR ARREST TO CONTACT THE DMV or your driver's license will AUTOMATICALLY be suspended. At the Law Offices of Kareem A. Ramadan we will stop the DMV from suspending your license automatically and begin the legal process of defending your license from being suspended with an Administrative Per Se Hearing.
What is an Admin Per Se Hearing?
Before your license can be suspended California Law states that a special hearing must take place to determine whether there is enough evidence to suspend someone's driving privileges. When you have been charged with a DUI, the FIRST STEP in saving your license is contacting the DMV to set up the APS Hearing. At the Law Offices of Kareem A. Ramadan we use our years of training and experience to attack the issues discussed at the hearing in order to save your license from being suspended.
Can the state convict me of DUI if my BAC level was under a .08%?
Unfortunately the answer is yes. Without an experienced DUI defense attorney by your side the District Attorney will have an easier chance at getting a DUI conviction even though the facts of the case are on your side. However, the state must still prove their case against you beyond a reasonable doubt. An experienced DUI defense attorney can help you fight your DUI charges and ensure you don't end up being convicted of a crime the state cant prove.
