We Know the California DUI Legal Process

Don’t let the DUI court process intimidate you. Attorney Prentiss has been representing clients in Redding, Shasta County, and all of Northern California for almost 15 years. When you are charged with a DUI, you need to put his experience, skills, and tenacious approach on your side immediately. We can fight for you throughout all steps of the court process.

Arraignment

After you have been charged with a DUI, the next step is an arraignment. Your license will be suspended 30 days after your arrest. At your arraignment, our attorney will accompany you and you will plead not guilty. It is important that you do not go to your arraignment alone. We can ensure you understand this important first step and how to navigate it to your best advantage. 

Settlement

Your second court date is typically a settlement conference. When our attorney represents you, you will not even have to go to court. Mr. Prentiss will do the heavy lifting on your behalf. At the settlement, he and the prosecutor will work to try to come to an agreement. 

Pre-Trial Motions

Not all DUI cases will include pre-trial motions. If yours does, we will work aggressively to get a suppression motion. This motion is designed to attack the legality of the initial traffic stop. Mr. Prentiss will work to get evidence thrown out of court.

Next Steps

After your pre-trial motions, we will either settle for you or we may have to go to trial in court. No matter what happens after the pre-trial motions, you can count on our aggressive stance in fighting for your best interests and helping you achieve the most favorable result. From start to finish, we will stand by you every step of the way.
