San Diego DUI Lawyer | DMV Hearing Representation | James Chavez Law

If you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence in San Diego, it’s important to understand that a DUI triggers two separate cases:

• A criminal DUI case in the San Diego Superior Court, and
   
• A DMV administrative action that can result in an automatic driver’s license suspension.
   

As a San Diego DUI attorney, I represent clients in both proceedings and help them protect their driving privileges. I also regularly advise professionals, commercial drivers, military personnel, and non-citizens, all of whom may face unique legal and employment risks after a DUI arrest.

Out-of-state drivers may experience additional consequences due to national reporting systems like the Interstate Driver License Compact and the National Driver Register.

If you’ve been arrested for DUI anywhere in San Diego County—including Chula Vista, La Mesa, El Cajon, Oceanside, Escondido, or Carlsbad—contact my office immediately. Early action significantly improves your chances of saving your license and limiting the consequences of a DUI arrest.
