1. Consult with a Qualified DUI Attorney who defends only drunk driving related cases.

Your DUI attorney must be notified immediately after your arrest to fight your drivers license suspension. You have only ten days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing to contest an automatic "admin per se" suspension of your license.

2. Write down everything you can remember surrounding your arrest, including the events that led up to the police stop, the field sobriety and/or chemical tesing, statements made by the police, and any witnesses who may be able to give testimony on your behalf.

3. Do not speak with anybody about your DUI arrest except your lawyer. Do not make any admissions or statements to anyone else, as anything you say has the potential to surface as evidence against you in court.
