California State University Northridge Student Arrested for DUI - CSUN*

Aggressive DUI Defense for Cal State Northridge* Students

A DUI/DWI arrest is frightening. Not only can it lead to time behind bars and costly fines, it can also cost you your driver's license, your job and even your college admission.

Because the consequences are serious, it is critical that you have a skilled defense attorney on your side.

For CSUN* students arrested for DUI, David J. Givot, of the Law Office of David J. Givot is The Legal Guardian and he will do more than just help you through.

"I aggressively defend clients charged with drunk driving crimes. Whether this is your first offense or you have had previous convictions, I will work directly with you to fight the charges." David Givot

Did You Know?

When you are charged with DUI/DWI in California, two legal processes are set into motion:

  • A criminal case involving the state court system
  • An administrative process involving the Department of Motor Vehicles

In most situations, the arresting officer will confiscate your California driver's license and issue you a 30-day temporary license, often referred to as a pink slip. You have 10 days, after this point to request a DMV hearing. If you fail to do so, you risk automatic suspension of your license.

As your lawyer, I will not only fight the criminal charge, I will also work to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

Protect Your Rights

The arresting officer will probably ask you to take a breathalyzer test and perform field sobriety tests, such as the "walk and turn" or "put your finger on your nose" test, in order to determine your blood alcohol level.

In California, if you are 21 or older, these tests are voluntary. If you refuse, you will be arrested. But, your license will not be automatically suspended.

The officer is not required to explain your right to refuse these roadside coordination tests and will most likely not tell you of your right to refuse.




Know your rights. Protect them.
