Law Office of Joshua Kaizuka

A DUI arrest can be a traumatic experience. For many people, it is their first encounter with the criminal justice system—being arrested, going through the booking process, and spending time in jail before being released on a promise to appear or after posting bail. We believe you deserve to know what to expect, so we discuss both the best- and worst-case scenarios from the very beginning. Our primary goal is always to identify a defense that can lead to a dismissal. If that is not possible, we work to secure a reduction to a lesser charge or the most favorable resolution available. In the worst-case scenario, we guide our clients through every step of the process, helping them satisfy all probation requirements while minimizing stress and disruption to their lives. The best-case outcome is that no criminal case is ever filed and the DMV takes no action against your driver's license. When that does not happen, obtaining all available evidence as quickly as possible becomes absolutely critical. You probably have questions: Is jail time involved? What is an SR-22? Will my license be suspended? How will this affect my job, insurance, or future? Every DUI case is different. Sometimes a case that appears impossible to defend turns out to have significant legal issues. Without a thorough investigation and a complete review of all available records, there is no way to know what defenses may exist. What initially looks like a dead-bang DUI conviction can sometimes result in an outstanding outcome. Thorough preparation, careful investigation, and examining every piece of available evidence can make all the difference.

Getting arrested can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life, and having an experienced criminal defense attorney guide you through the legal process can make a tremendous difference. If you have been arrested or have had contact with law enforcement, you likely have questions. Arrests and convictions can create problems at home and at work. In some situations, your professional license may also be at risk. Whether the charges against you involve theft, assault, domestic violence, drugs, or homicide—whether the arrest is for a misdemeanor or a felony—it is important to have your questions answered by an experienced criminal defense attorney.
