OAKLAND DUI ATTORNEY
If you have been cited for a DUI in Oakland and have been cited to appear in the Oakland Court House of the Alameda County Superior Court, here are a few things you should know:
- You will be given a Court date to appear at the Oakland Court house (Wiley Emanuel Court House). Do not fail to appear. If you do the Court will issue a bench warrant for your arrest. By doing this you could end up serving time that you otherwise did not need to serve!
- The case will be arraigned out of Dept. 107 which is the department were all Oakland DUI's, Berkeley DUI's, Alameda DUI's, Piedmont DUI's and Albany DUI's are arraigned. There you will be asked to appear at 9:00 a.m., but the Court will not start until about 9:30, never the less be on time. Keep in mind that there are long lines at the entrance to the Court for the metal detector that can delay your appearance.
- If you appear on your own, ask for a continuance to retain an attorney or ask for the Public Defender if you cannot afford a private Attorney. If we represent you on any Oakland DUI, we will appear for you, you do not have to appear in Court.
- If we represent you on the DUI case, then our hope is that you will walk out not owing any fines, jail or probation times. However, if this happens all of it can be arranged in Court and at the Oakland Criminal Clerk's Office.
