Torrance DUI Attorneys

South Bay DUI Lawyers

Gold & Witham, Attorneys at Law, work very hard in their law practice to defending those charged with drunk driving.  The Torrance DUI Lawyers have handled thousands of cases in their many years of experience.

DUI offenses are often regarded by unknowing individuals as "traffic tickets" which in the legal system are classified as civil infractions. This is not the case however, as DUI offenses are in fact, criminal charges and are prosecuted much more heavily and severely. These charges cannot be taken lightly and they must be defended by truly dedicated, and experienced DUI defense lawyers. The attorneys at Gold & Witham have years of experience defending people from throughout Torrance and South Bay with their DUI cases. This includes the defense in DMV hearings to obtain temporary driving privileges while the criminal case is pending.

THE DUI PROCESS

DUI charges go through a two part process when charged. The first is the civil case which involves the suspension of your drivers' license upon arrest and booking. The second involves the criminal case where you will be arraigned in a criminal court and prosecuted by the District Attorney. Because DUI cases must be delt with on these two very different levels, you must ensure that the lawyer you hire be as experienced as possible in defending you in each situation. The outcome of poor representation can result in the suspension of your drivers license during the DMV Hearing and the possibility of jail time and heavy court fines upon conviction in criminal court. Make no mistake, DUI charges are very serious and can ruin you and your family's livelihood if not defended properly.
