DUI Defense Lawyers in Los Angeles, California

Every dui lawyer and dui attorney listing on this page traces back to the State Bar of California's official roll, filtered to DUI defense matters in Los Angeles. Verification describes profile identity, not quality or outcomes.

Los Angeles County Superior Court is the largest unified trial court in the United States, with dozens of courthouses spread across the county and dedicated personal injury, complex civil, family, and probate operations. For DUI defense cases, venue ordinarily lies with the Los Angeles County Superior Court: Stanley Mosk Courthouse, downtown · which is why counsel who appear there regularly read the local calendar better than any brochure.

Before comparing counsel, note the clock. Under Cal. Veh. Code § 13353.2, the governing period is ten days from arrest to request the DMV administrative hearing. 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).

Reading the roster in Los Angeles. 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.
