Learn whether the Los Angeles Police Are Arresting People For DUIs during the Coronavirus. This is a good question because you probably have to assume that the police don't want to deal with anybody during this Coronavirus. After all, they might fall prey to getting the Coronavirus.

Despite several LAPD officers being infected with the Coronavirus, the enforcement of DUI laws in Los Angeles County continues. This is evident from the numerous DUI cases I'm handling, indicating that the police are still making arrests for DUI.

So, if you have one, pick the phone up.  Make the call.  A lot of times, I meet with people over the phone.  I've got over 400 reviews from attorneys and prior clients on the internet.  I've got about 300 videos.  I've handled thousands of DUI cases.  So I can help you during these challenging times.

All of the same issues are there:  whether or not the police see you driving; or your blood alcohol level.  Sometimes the police are cutting corners, though in some of the recent DUI cases that I've got regarding the investigation and not checking everything out.

Again, because they don't want to contact witnesses, the more people they talk to, the more people they have to interact with, and the more likely they are to contract the Coronavirus.

So, if you were swept up in LAPD or the sheriff's net—even CHP is probably who makes the most DUI arrests in Los Angeles County—the California Highway Patrol is probably who makes the most DUI arrests.

If you've been caught in the LAPD or the sheriff's net, or even by the CHP, we can assist you with your DUI case pending in one of the Los Angeles courts. We'll handle everything, making the process as easy as possible for you.

We'll deal with the DMV and the courts. If we have to have you come in, it will be minimal, so you won't have to expose yourself.

Courts Are Still Open During Coronavirus

Unfortunately, I'm in all of the 38 courts making appearances.  They're all still open during the Coronavirus.  I'm wearing a mask, and I can get in and out of there pretty quickly without having to languish in there, subjecting myself to getting the coronavirus.

So, if you've got a DUI, even though there's the Coronavirus, and the police have given you a ticket, and you have to go to court, pick up the phone.  Make the call.

Let's discuss it. We'll make the first court appearance for you, get the paperwork, and send you a copy. Then, we can discuss it either face-to-face or via the telephone.

We also have to call the DMV within ten days of your arrest, so we'll make that call for you to set up the hearing.  Most of the hearings are being pushed back about a month, two months, or three months while they try and settle everything up here for the Coronavirus.

Another issue we're facing is the potential backlog of cases once the courts resume normal operations. With most hearings being postponed for a month or more due to the Coronavirus, the courts will likely be overwhelmed when they reconvene.

This is because all of the cases have been pushed back 30, 60, and 90 days, so they're all going to strike at the same time, including the new DUI arrests in Los Angeles County.  It will be very tough, but it's nothing that we can't handle.

We will strive to use the current situation to your advantage, aiming for the best possible resolution. The more cases and problems they have, the more likely the defense will be able to take advantage of that. We look forward to talking to you soon and seeing you soon. All the best.
