You have already been convicted for DUI in Orange County. What can you do at this point? What if you think that the case was mishandled? What if your attorney did not provide sufficient representation? What if you think your sentencing is too harsh?
There is action that you can take, even if your criminal case has ended and you were convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) in Orange County, California.

A DUI appeal enables you to get a second chance at justice - particularly when your case was not handled properly.
DUI Appellate Attorney in Orange County, CA
By offering my services as an Orange County appellate attorney, I may be able to help you petition the court regarding your DUI case. Usually based off error or misconduct during the original trial, a DUI appeal may be filed in order to give a defendant a chance at a fair trial and outcome.
It is important to act quickly if you believe you need to file a DUI appeal. You only have 60 days from the conclusion of your original trial in order to file the appeal. Working with an experienced attorney is how you can help ensure that your appeal is filed properly and contains the correct information which will prove that your case was mishandled. Some instances which I have seen, as an Orange County DUI appeal lawyer, include the following:
- The defendant's rights were violated
- Evidence was included/excluded which should have been handled differently
- Incorrect instructions were given to the jury
- Defense lawyer was so ineffective that he/she affected the outcome of the case
- The jury returned a guilty verdict even in the absence of adequate evidence
- Someone on the jury was using drugs/alcohol at the time of the trial
