Defending The Accused Citizen
Every day there are hundreds of people arrested across the state for driving under the influence. This includes alcohol, drugs, a combination of both, and every once in a while, having too much coffee. Law enforcement goes out of their way to do everything they can to take these drivers off the road. It is better for them to err on the side of caution than to make a mistake that can have serious implications. This is well understood. However, once the case gets to the Court, that is where the real analysis should begin. As a nation, we have all accepted that we must do everything possible to protect the innocent from receiving an unjust conviction. Unfortunately, the system hasn’t quite caught up to this concept yet, when it comes to people arrested for an Oakland Criminal offense or Alameda County criminal offense. Yes of course there are people who have been arrested and are guilty of the offenses. What many people are not understanding is that there are many, many others that have been arrested but are innocent and have been made guilty by the inequities found within our Oakland criminal system. Lucky for those that have been arrested unjustly and wrongly charged that Oakland Criminal Attorney Francisco Rodriguez is there to help them prove their innocence. This is not an easy battle as these cases carry with them a tremendous amount of bias, not just from the system but from jurors who have been a precondition to believe that a person arrested for an Oakland crime would not be arrested unless he or she is guilty.

Do not be fooled into believing that there is nothing to fear because your matter is not serious or that you will only receive a “slap on the wrist”. The consequences of a criminal conviction on your record can stretch beyond what you may understand today. It is wise that you call and have a thorough discussion with a professional to truly understand all implications.

department of motor vehicle actions on Oakland dui’s.
The Oakland Department of Motor Vehicles is eager to take the license of anyone that has been arrested for an Oakland DUI. The first rule of thumb in dealing with them is that you MUST request the DMV for an APS hearing within ten days of your arrest or your license WILL automatically be suspended. Do not allow this to happen, there are numerous reasons why it is to your advantage to request a hearing. An Oakland first time DUI offense will carry a 4 to a six-month suspension. A second-time DUI offense will carry a one to two-year suspension depending on the outcome of the case. A third time carries a three-year suspension or revocation.
