Van Nuys courthouses handle a high volume of San Fernando Valley DUI and criminal cases. After an arrest, two timelines usually start at once: the criminal court case and the DMV administrative process.
In the first 48 hours, write down everything you remember about the stop, testing and release. Save your citation, temporary license, bail paperwork and any text messages from the jail or court reminder systems.
Do not assume the case is hopeless because the officer wrote a report. Many Van Nuys DUI cases turn on video, breath machine maintenance, blood draw procedures, unlawful stops or weak driving evidence.
A Van Nuys DUI lawyer can request the DMV hearing, review discovery and explain whether your case belongs in negotiation, motion practice or trial preparation.
