Van Nuys DUI and Criminal Defense

Van Nuys handles a high volume of Valley-area cases, including DUI arrests, driving offenses, probation matters and criminal misdemeanors. Volume can make preparation especially important because busy calendars leave little room for confusion.

We focus on getting discovery early, identifying DMV issues, reviewing police procedures and preparing a negotiation or litigation strategy that fits the courtroom and the client’s goals.

What Can Affect the Case

Important factors can include the arresting agency, BAC level, accident allegations, prior history, refusal claims, probation status and whether video or body camera footage supports the police report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go to court?

In many misdemeanor DUI matters, an attorney may be able to appear for you. Whether that applies depends on the charge, court and facts of the case.

Can a DUI charge be reduced?

Many cases are resolved through negotiation, but the result depends on the evidence, prior history, court and prosecutor. The goal is to find weaknesses and push for the best available outcome.

What should I do first?

Speak with a defense attorney quickly, especially if your license may be at risk. DMV deadlines can arrive before the first court date.
