Bail & Pre-Trial Release Assistance
We assist clients with bail hearings and pre-trial release efforts to help them remain out of custody while their case moves forward.
Miranda Rights & the Right to Remain Silent
You have the right to remain silent and avoid making statements that could be used against you. We help protect your constitutional rights and challenge any violations that occur during questioning or arrest.
Right to Legal Representation
You have the right to an attorney at every stage of the criminal process. Our team provides experienced guidance and works to ensure your rights are protected from investigation through trial.
Protection From Unlawful Searches & Seizures
Law enforcement must generally have a warrant, probable cause, or a valid legal exception to conduct a search. We carefully examine whether evidence was obtained lawfully and seek to suppress illegally gathered evidence when appropriate.
Presumption of Innocence
Every person accused of a crime is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We challenge the prosecution’s evidence and fight to hold them to that high legal standard.
In Fresno County a DUI charge can carry serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, probation, and even jail time. In California, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit, can result in either misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the circumstances.
At Hernandez Law, we defend clients facing a wide range of DUI-related offenses, including first-time DUI charges, repeat offenses, DUI causing injury, drug-related DUI cases, hit-and-run allegations, vehicular homicide charges, DMV hearings, and cases involving unlawful traffic stops.
Our team carefully examines every aspect of the case, from the initial stop to the administration of tests, to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence. We have helped clients pursue reduced charges, case dismissals, and favorable resolutions whenever possible.
