Once the initial apprehension subsides, it becomes essential to understand what the journey post-DUI arrest entails. From the first court appearance to potential sentencing, there are several steps that Dietz & Jarrard PC ensures you are well-prepared to face. Our attorneys work diligently to ensure our clients know each stage of the process and what actions to take to protect their rights and interests.

A DUI arrest kicks off a series of legal events, each with its own set of deadlines and requirements. Navigating through them without seasoned guidance can significantly influence the outcome. This is where Dietz & Jarrard PC's expertise becomes indispensable. We guide you hand-in-hand, mitigating the complexities that lie ahead.

Your first court appearance, known as an arraignment, is where you'll hear the charges against you and have the opportunity to enter a plea. This step sets the stage for your defense, and our lawyers ensure you're adequately prepped and represented. A precise understanding of the proceedings grants you a semblance of control over the situation.

This is the juncture where the court will outline the conditions for your pre-trial release and set bail if necessary. It's paramount to approach this with the counsel of savvy legal representatives. We pride ourselves on furnishing our clients with such guidance, ensuring you make informed decisions from the outset.

Sentencing may seem like an outcome set in stone, but this isn't the case. Negotiating plea bargains can play a crucial role in reducing the charges or the sentencing you may face. The attorneys at Dietz & Jarrard PC excel at identifying opportunities for negotiation and leveraging them for your advantage.

It is essential to understand that sentencing can vary widely based on multiple factors, including the presence of aggravating circumstances or the effectiveness of your defense. Our lawyers are adept at articulating such factors to your benefit, whether it's your first offense or there are other nuances to your case.

A DUI arrest often leads to the automatic suspension of your driver's license, but a DMV hearing can challenge this. It's a separate process from the criminal case, yet equally pivotal to your mobility and liberty. Our attorneys at Dietz & Jarrard PC urge immediate action; time is of the essence, as you typically have a limited window to request a DMV hearing. We assist in this request and prepare for the hearing as part of our comprehensive support.

Securing your driving privileges affects not just your day-to-day life but can also play a part in your overall defense strategy. It is not a battle to be fought alone, and with Dietz & Jarrard PC at your side, you'll have the best chance to present a strong case for the retention of your driving rights.

By harnessing our deep well of experience, we create defense strategies tailored to the specifics of your situation. This may involve questioning the validity of the sobriety tests, the handling of your arrest, or other legal technicalities that could work in your favor.
