I've been handling California Vehicle Code 23152 VC DUI cases for approximately 30 years. I've been all over the place and had much success for my clients, so I think I'm in a pretty good position to at least give you my opinion on the type of attorney you need. I would say you need the following:
- Somebody who has much experience in the particular courthouse where your case is pending and
- Somebody with a strong skill set has been to trial and litigated issues.
I say that because it is common knowledge in criminal defense that many DUI attorneys don't have much experience trying cases.
This is because there are not a lot of DUI cases that go to trial. After all, they're pretty cut and dry, depending on how the person's blood alcohol level was and whether or not any issues present themselves in the case.
Experience is not just a bonus, it's a necessity in DUI cases. And at the Hedding Law Firm, we have that experience.
Many of these DUI attorneys don't have experience fighting cases and dealing with challenging issues. Therefore, I often see people coming to me who had another attorney who couldn't handle their case.
They got beaten up by the prosecutor and didn't know how to respond. So now they have to come to somebody who's a fighter and knows how to get good results. So, you might as well go to that attorney from the beginning and don't mess around with one of these attorneys without experience.
Especially one of the firms where you call in, and the attorney whose name is up there has nothing to do with the practice of DUI defense. They are just figureheads, using younger, less experienced attorneys to deal with their clients' cases.
You do not want that. You want an attorney who has experience and is responsible for the case that you hire them to try.
When you choose the Hedding Law Firm, you're not just getting an attorney, you're getting a team that works diligently on every case. I, along with my father and our associates, take personal responsibility for ensuring you receive the best possible outcome. We review each case that comes through our office, strategize, and put in the necessary work to achieve the desired result.
When considering your options, it's crucial to understand what you want, but equally important to recognize what you don't want. You certainly don't want an inexperienced attorney handling your case. By making the right choice in your legal representation, you can take control of your situation and ensure the best possible outcome.
You don't want one of these firms with attorneys who don't know what they're doing, yet the figurehead looks like they have an excellent record.
They went to Harvard. They have all these accolades but don't go to court. So, what good does that do you? Nothing. So, figure out what you don't want to figure out what you want.
Seeking the Best Possible Result
If you're charged with a DUI, this is a very political crime; you need somebody with experience and a fighter.

I have you come in. We talk about the case. We get things set up. Once we get all of the discovery, we send you a copy, you review it, and then we talk again about what the prosecutors are saying; here's your position and how we'll handle the case. Then, we execute the plan and get you the best possible result.
