DUI Defense Attorneys in Pasadena, California

Looking for a dui lawyer near you in Pasadena? Explore the Los Angeles County record for DUI defense attorneys on the State Bar of California's official roll and review each profile for yourself.

Pasadena is a city of roughly 138,000, and its DUI defense matters are heard at the Los Angeles County Superior Court: Pasadena Courthouse. The Pasadena Courthouse on Walnut Street serves the San Gabriel Valley's northwest corridor, and the city is also home to Division One of the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District.

One date controls everything that follows: ten days from arrest to request the DMV administrative hearing, per 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). Read the record below with that clock in mind.

DUI Defense · Pasadena roster

None of the 2,222 active attorneys whose address of record is in Pasadena lists dui defense among their practice areas on the registry, so the roster below is Los Angeles County's.

By count, the practice areas most often listed by Pasadena attorneys are litigation (411), business law (394), employment (331), personal injury (268) and estate planning (213). A count of listings, not a measure of skill.

2 of the 2,222 have claimed and verified their record here; every other listing is the official record as published.

For 107 of the 2,222 active attorneys in Pasadena, the registry holds a firm website published in a language other than English; by count, Spanish (93), Chinese (17), French (5) and Armenian (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 Pasadena. 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.

No active dui defense attorney on the registry gives Pasadena as their address of record; Los Angeles County's roster follows
