14 DUI and DWI defence attorneys are listed in Bakersfield. A drink-driving arrest starts two separate cases: the criminal charge, and an administrative action against your licence with its own deadline, often measured in days rather than weeks.
Ask about the technical side. Whether the stop was lawful, how field sobriety tests were administered, and how the breath instrument was calibrated and maintained decide more of these cases than anything said in court.
Also ask what happens beyond the sentence: insurance, ignition interlock, commercial licences and professional licensing all follow a conviction.
