Burbank DUI Lawyer
Burbank Courthouse
300 East Olive Street
Burbank, CA 91502
I have been handling DUI-related cases in the Burbank court for the past twenty-five years, and in 1992 I worked for a Superior Court judge in Burbank and feel confident in successfully defending clients in this courthouse.
This is a conservative courthouse, but the prosecutors can be reasoned with the appropriate circumstances and if the proper preparation has been put in before negotiating with them. Attorneys should be transparent with their clients about how they will handle their particular cases and always strive to do just that.
Reviewing The Details of Your DUI Case
My first move when a client contacts me to represent them in a DUI case pending in Burbank is to have them come into my office and go over their entire case and discuss their life related to mitigating factors I can use to help them resolve the issue in the best way possible.
As long as the client is honest with me and gives me all necessary information related to their DUI case, I will assist them in designing a plan to deal with their DUI positively and set the case up to be dismissed eventually.
Not every case can be dismissed from the beginning; sometimes, the client must negotiate a plea bargain first, and then when their probation is over, we can have the case dismissed.
Whatever your situation, your best strategy is to sit down with a local insider and figure out the best plan for you!
If you face a DUI charge in the Burbank Courthouse, you owe it to yourself to speak with a DUI attorney who has experience in Burbank.
I have successfully handled many DUI cases in the Burbank Court. Approximately 20 years ago, I was a research attorney for a Superior Court judge in the Burbank Courthouse.

Legal Penalties for a DUI Conviction
California Law provides penalties to any individual convicted of driving under the influence in Burbank. Additionally, the California Department of Motor Vehicles can suspend your driver's license after your DUI arrest if your blood alcohol is above .08%.
The administrative suspension in California is contained in Vehicle Code § 13353.2, which states:
- The department will immediately suspend the driving privilege to operate a car if they were driving a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.08 percent or more; if they were under 21 years of age and had a BAC of 0.01 percent or more: They were driving a vehicle that requires a commercial driver's license when they had a BAC of 0.04 percent or more.
The notice of the order of suspension will be served by a peace officer under Section 13388 or 13382 and will be on a form provided by the department.
If the notice of the order of suspension has not been served, the department will mail a written notice of the order of the rest to the last known address.
The order of suspension will specify the statutory grounds for the rest – the effective date – and the right of the person to request an administrative hearing, along with the procedure for requesting an administrative hearing.
