Credentials Which Make Us The Top DUI Defense Firm in Los Angeles
With a robust 30-year career in DUI defense law, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My journey began at the District Attorney's office, followed by a tenure as a superior court judge, and culminated in becoming a DUI defense attorney in the early 1990s. This extensive experience equips me to handle any situation with confidence and competence.
I know the ins and outs of California law and how DUI law has gone up and down, and of course, I realized that California is probably one of the strictest DUI states in America.
Los Angeles County has so many drivers. The prosecutors, judges, and legislature are very tough on DUIs because of all of the deaths that occur on LA streets every day, every month, and every year.
So, if you or a loved one is charged with a DUI, you'll need the best. The way I look at it, especially for a first offense, is to do it once, do it right, and never do it again.
When it comes to choosing an attorney, it's crucial to select someone who is well-versed in the local courts, understands the tendencies of judges and prosecutors, and knows how to effectively fight and win a case. My comprehensive knowledge of the local courts ensures that you are in safe and capable hands.
Negotiations with the Prosecutor
Many of these DUI cases can be fought because the prosecutors don't have the evidence. The mistake you do not want to make, though, is to try to fight a DUI case that can't be won.
Because what will happen is you'll spend a lot of money, going through a lot of stress and pressure as the trial goes on. If you're going to lose, you're going to get a much worse punishment than if you were to resolve the case and let your attorney negotiate for you, get a mitigation package, talk about you as a person, and get you the best possible resolution.
That's pretty much what I do. If you've got a DUI case in Los Angeles and you're looking for the best, I have you come in, and we sit down under the cloak of the attorney/client privilege.
You give me all the details leaving nothing out relating to your case. I can then give you a pretty good idea of what you're facing and the tendencies of the judge, the prosecutor, and the court you find yourself in.
Experience in All Los Angeles County Courts
I've been in all of the 48 courts in Los Angeles county. They've now been trimmed up to somewhere between 25 and 30 because of budget issues.
So, for example, if you have a case in Beverly Hills that would usually go to Beverly Hills court, but they no longer do cases there, your case will be sent to the Airport or LAX court.
The same is true for Malibu. Those cases are sent to the Van Nuys court of the Airport Court. They're divided between the two, and the list goes on.
When you've been doing something for 30 years, you've fought cases, negotiated cases, know all of the prosecutors and judges, and learned how to handle DUIs just like yours. So, pick up the phone now. Ask for a meeting with Ron Hedding. Let us put our experience to work for you.
