A California DUI Defense Attorney Can Locate Someone in Custody

California DUI arrests sometimes end with the person arrested for drunk driving being released on their own recognizance. This means that the DUI arrestee is allowed to be released from jail on their written promise to appear in court to answer to the DUI charges. If they fail to appear in court to address the DUI arrest, a warrant will be issued for their arrest, and they face separate misdemeanor charges for failure to appear if the underlying driving under the influence was a misdemeanor DUI, or will face felony failure to appear charges if the underlying drunk driving offense was a felony DUI. A California DUI defense attorney should be called who focuses on California drunk driving defense the DUI laws.

Arrests for a DUI in California often leave a worried loved one in their wake. If someone you care about has been arrested for drunk driving in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside or the Inland Empire, Ventura County, the San Francisco Bay area, including San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Jose, or any other Bay Area DUI arrest, California drunk driving defense attorneys at The Kavinoky Law Firm can help locate that person promptly, and work quickly to secure their release.

Before attempting to locate someone arrested for California DUI charges, you should try to have the person's full legal name and date of birth at hand. If the DUI arrestee has contacted you, the DUI booking number will be helpful.

DUI arrestees, once located, may be released on their own recognizance, or the services of a DUI bail bondsman may be necessary. Many counties have an OR (Own Recognizance) Officer that will screen those arrested for drunk driving to determine the suitability of their release on their own recognizance. Some counties will release a DUI / DWI suspect automatically, so long as they have identification, are a local resident, and they remain in custody long enough to protect the arresting agency from liability in the event a DUI suspect is released to get into a DUI accident where someone is injured.
