Pleasanton, CA: Veterans face many social and emotional challenges, including isolation and loneliness, as well as adjusting to civilian life, identity, and purpose, among others. While most of these challenges can be addressed through the Veterans Affairs (VA), legal challenges, such as DUI defense, often require seeking help elsewhere. Gorelick Law Offices is happy to announce the launch of a DUI defense program tailored for veterans in the East Bay.
While the Veterans Treatment Courts are exclusively there to serve veterans and active-duty military personnel, the accused persons still face prosecutors and judges. So, they are advised not to go to court alone as the California justice system is very harsh on those charged with DUI. Luckily, Gorelick Law Offices has over 38 years of experience handling similar cases. The firm protects veterans' rights and helps them avoid losing their driving licenses or facing jail time.
The DUI defense lawyer has an in-depth knowledge of California laws, a key element in giving each veteran ideal representation. For instance, the state follows an implied consent law, which means once suspected and stopped for DUI, one is expected to submit to BAC testing. Failure to comply may lead to other complications, such as the loss of a driver’s license for at least one year.
Gorelick Law Offices also helps clients navigate legal processes. Individuals arrested in Alameda or Contra Costa County, for example, have ten days to request an administrative hearing. The primary goal of this hearing is to dispute license suspension. By ensuring clients understand the strictness of the administrative hearing and guiding them to act promptly, the firm helps protect their right to retain their driving privileges.

Additionally, Gorelick Law Offices assists clients in building a strong defense, increasing their chances of a favorable outcome. Regardless of the case details, the primary goal is to help clients avoid jail or prison time, heavy penalties, community service, and the installation of ignition interlock devices. The firm also addresses other potential consequences, such as increased auto insurance rates and going above and beyond to increase the chances of a favorable outcome.
In addition to negotiating for case dismissal, reduced charges, or their license not to be suspended, the firm may pursue diversion programs. These programs can include alcohol/DUI education classes, treatment, rehabilitation, and counseling instead of prison time. The main advantage of these programs is that, besides helping prevent future offenses, charges are dropped once the diversion programs are successfully completed.
