The penalty for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs becomes more severe with each passing year. Lobbyists in Sacramento, most notably Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) and the California Highway Patrol, spend millions of dollars a year influencing legislators to increase the punishments for driving under the influence. If you are arrested for DUI, you need an attorney who understands the ever-changing laws surrounding DUI, and who has extensive experience concerning the issues and defenses in a DUI case.

The team at the Law Offices of Kyle J. Humphrey knows that people of all walks of life can be charged with this crime. For many people charged with a DUI, it is their first experience with the criminal justice system, and it can be daunting. Most DUI cases are charged as misdemeanor offenses, which allows us to appear in court on your behalf, and handle the majority of your case without the client ever having to go to court. This will save you the time and embarrassment of numerous court appearances.

In addition to handling the criminal case in court, we also provide our clients with representation during the Department of Motor Vehicle’s administrative process of driver’s license suspension. Upon an arrest for DUI, your driver’s license will be suspended by the DMV, which is commonly referred to as California’s “Stop and Snatch” law. In order to preserve your right to challenge the DMV’s suspension of your license, you must request an administrative hearing within fifteen days. When you retain the Law Offices of Kyle J. Humphrey, you are hiring an attorney who has the knowledge and experience to challenge the suspension of your driver’s license, and who will use that knowledge and experience in working to save your license.

Mr. Humphrey has over 20 years of experience handling DUI cases, both as a prosecutor, and for the past 15 years as a defense attorney. You need an attorney who understands the specific issues involved in a DUI case, such as forensic alcohol testing procedures, improper use of field sobriety tests by law enforcement, and unlawful bases used by law enforcement for conducting a traffic stop, to name a few. You will receive experienced and highly knowledgeable representation when you retain our office to represent you in your DUI case.
