DUI Defense Attorneys in Fresno, California
Searching for a dui lawyer in Fresno? Counsel for the ten days that matter most, DMV hearings and DUI court defense. This page indexes Fresno's DUI defense coverage from the State Bar of California's official roll, with identity-verification markers where available.
Fresno is the legal center of the San Joaquin Valley: the B.F. Sisk Courthouse carries one of the state's heavier per-judge caseloads, the Fifth District Court of Appeal sits downtown, and agricultural employment and immigration practice run deep. For DUI defense cases, venue ordinarily lies with the Fresno County Superior Court: B.F. Sisk Courthouse · which is why counsel who appear there regularly read the local calendar better than any brochure.
Deadlines shape these cases before merits do · ten days from arrest to request the DMV administrative hearing (Cal. Veh. Code § 13353.2). The DMV's administrative per se suspension is separate from the criminal case, missing the 10-day window forfeits the hearing. Most misdemeanor DUI charges must be filed within one year (Cal. Penal Code § 802).

DUI Defense · Fresno roster
None of the 1,790 active attorneys whose address of record is in Fresno lists dui defense among their practice areas on the registry, so the roster below is Fresno County's.
By count, the practice areas most often listed by Fresno attorneys are criminal defense (340), litigation (257), business law (254), employment (214) and real estate (179). A count of listings, not a measure of skill.
None of the 1,790 has yet claimed and verified their record here; every listing is the official record as published.
For 117 of the 1,790 active attorneys in Fresno, the registry holds a firm website published in a language other than English; by count, Spanish (107), Punjabi (51), Persian (14) and Russian (5). That describes the website, not the attorney's own ability; an attorney's profile says when they have confirmed a language themselves.
Reading the roster in Fresno. The first deadline is the case: ten days to request the DMV hearing, so contact counsel immediately after arrest. Look for attorneys who defend DUIs in the specific courthouse where the case will be heard, ask about their approach to the stop, the field tests, and the chemical-test evidence (calibration, rising-BAC, blood-draw procedure), and whether they staff the DMV hearing themselves. Flat fees by case stage are the norm in this practice.
