How Can I Assist in My San Diego DUI Case?

When you find yourself facing a San Diego DUI charge, you might be wondering, “How can I help with my defense?” The first and most important thing you can do is to contact an experienced and knowledgeable San Diego DUI attorney who knows all of the DUI laws in the state of California. Since a DUI case is very complex, this San Diego DUI attorney will make a big difference in how smoothly your case proceeds and in the potential outcome of your case. Along with hiring a great lawyer, you should also do the following:

1. Write down all potential witnesses. This will include your friends and others who were present prior to or during your arrest.
2. Write down all of the events that occurred prior to the arrest and following your arrest. Remember to do this quickly as our memories often fade over time. Include time frames if you can recall them.
3. Collect any documents that can help demonstrate your good character. These documents can include character reference letters from friends, family, and employers. Obtain documents showing your employment history and opportunities you’ve taken to help in your community. If you can obtain statements from friends describing your responsible drinking habits in the past (such as always using a taxi or a designated driver), then those statements would be helpful.

All of these things will assist your San Diego DUI lawyer in developing your defense plan and helping them provide you with the best possible outcome to your DUI case.
