San Fernando Courthouse
900 Third Street
San Fernando, CA 91340
(818) 256-1800
Over the past twenty-five years, I have made hundreds of DUI cases in the San Fernando courthouse system.
This courthouse is located at the north end of the San Fernando Valley and is tough on crime.
However, not all defendants are treated in the harshest manner.
Under the right factual circumstances, I have been able to dismiss cases that should have been rejected and negotiate great resolutions on behalf of clients who need their matters resolved through a negotiated disposition.
Without a doubt, your best strategy going into a criminal case in this courthouse is to have a drunk driving lawyer who knows the players in this courthouse and can fight a claim if necessary.
Successful DUI Defense
I believe I am most effective for my clients when I sit down with them from the beginning and map out a solid plan for their case before talking to the judge or prosecutor about it.
Once a realistic game plan is in place, all that remains is to execute it in the most effective manner possible for the client. Attorneys and their clients must have an open line of communication.
If we are not honest, we are not working at the optimal level possible.
From the beginning of the case, I tell my clients the straightforward truth about where the case stands and what I believe their best strategy is moving forward the case's likely outcome if everything goes in their favor.
It is also essential that the client is straightforward and honest with me and does not leave any essential details related to their case.
I need to know what the police and prosecutors will say you did wrong from the start so I can begin defending you correctly.
We have successfully handled thousands of driving under the influence cases in the San Fernando Court system. When a person is arrested for a DUI and ordered to appear in the San Fernando Court, their initial appearance will be in Department “M” on the first floor of the San Fernando Courthouse for all misdemeanor DUI cases.

Hiring the Best DUI Lawyer in the San Fernando Valley
There are hundreds of DUIs every year in the San Fernando Valley. If you or a loved one is unfortunate enough to have gotten one, you want to get an attorney who's got much experience in the San Fernando Valley courthouses.
I've handled thousands of DUIs over that timeframe. So I think my prices are very reasonable, and I also believe I can get you the best result regarding your DUI arrest. The first thing we have you do is come into my office; we'll sit down and talk about everything and decide the best strategy for you.
We will discuss the criminal court, whether your case is in Van Nuys, San Fernando, or any other courthouses surrounding the San Fernando Valley. I've been practicing in that court for many years, so I'll be able to give you an idea of what you're facing.
Right from the beginning, when you call in, you're going to call into someone who is experienced, who understands your pain and the fact that you feel like you've lost control when you got arrested, thrown in the back of a police car, taken to jail and now you're facing criminal charges. And not only that, but you're also facing the loss of your driver's license.
We can get things set up for you right away. We'll give you kind of an idea of where you stand and some of the moves we can make right away, and we'll also give you an idea of what you charge, even before you come in to meet with me.
We don't have a problem doing that—anything to hide. We give you the information right from the beginning. But to be one of the best DUI defense attorneys in the San Fernando Valley, you must have experience.
You must have dealt with prosecutors, judges, and other people involved in these cases. You also have to know how to investigate and defend a DUI case.
They're not that complicated, but having done thousands of them, we've seen all of the different combinations of scenarios, and we've also got fantastic results for our clients, such as the following:
- We're going to be looking at what your blood alcohol level is because that's the number one factor that the prosecutors look at when deciding what to do with a DUI case.
- We'll also be looking at your criminal record, whether you have any prior DUIs because that's probably the second factor that they look at, and
- We're going to be looking at what happened in your case – were you driving recklessly, did you not signal, meaning did the police come up with a ticky-tack reason to pull you over, or were you legitimately doing something that wasn't safe, because that's really what these DUI's are all about.
The police and prosecutors want our highways to be safe. So, suppose they feel like you're not driving safely. In that case, you've consumed enough alcohol to be dangerous on the road, that's when they punish people, that's when they can use different weapons that they have to give jail time, to suspend your driver's license and a host of other consequences and punishments.
So if you're looking to hire the best DUI defense attorney, you've come to the right place. Pick up the phone now. Ask for a meeting with Ron Hedding. I will put my 30 years of experience and fair prices to work for you.
