 San Francisco DUI Laws and Lawyers is a legal reference for those persons arrested for drunk driving (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or DUI) in San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo County, Marin County, Napa County, Sonoma County, Alameda County, Solano County or Contra Costa County. It provides all you need to know concerning such issues as DUI laws and procedures, DUI penalties, finding a DUI lawyer or DUI defense attorney, breathalyzers and field sobriety tests, criminal courts, DMV license suspensions and more — including answers to questions such as:
"What should I do if I'm stopped for drunk driving?"
Nationally-known California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor, author of the legal textbook Drunk Driving Defense (6th edition), offers 6 tips:
- Politely decline to answer questions without an attorney.
- Decline to take any field sobriety tests (not required by law and rarely helps you).
- Unless you are under 21, decline to take any handheld breath test not required by law.
- Agree to take a required "evidentiary" breath test (blood if confident you are under .08%).
- Contact the DMV within 10 calendar days to demand a license suspension hearing.
- Find an experienced and reputable San Francisco DUI lawyer.

San Francisco DUI Laws and Lawyers and Legal Systems is provided as an information center for those facing criminal charges and/or license suspensions in San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo County, Marin County, Napa County, Sonoma County, Alameda County and Contra Costa County. It is also intended to counter the growing influence of radical groups pressuring courts, prosecutors and legislators for more unfair DUI laws, increasingly harsh punishment, more erosion of our Constitutional protections, and ultimately a return to the days of prohibition. The website for the National Motorists Association presents views on such important DUI and DWI issues as the constitutionality of roadblocks, reliance upon questionable breath tests, officer-administered license suspensions, inappropriate penalties, and selecting a qualified San Francisco DUI lawyer or drunk driving defense attorney.
This website is intended to provide DUI information for the Northern California counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa and Alameda, including the following communities: Alameda, Berkeley, Burlingame, Concord, Lafayette, Martinez, Napa, Novato, Oakland, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Redwood City, Richmond, San Francisco, San Leandro, San Mateo, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Vallejo, Walnut Creek
