Once your sister has been released from jail after being arrested for DUI in Los Angeles, California, the very first thing that she would have to do is to write down everything that she can remember about the night of the drunk driving arrest. These things would include what she was doing and where she was before driving, how much she had to drink, how long after drinking when she was arrested, how the officer behaved and any instructions given to her, what the officer said to her, where she was pulled over, when and if she was read her Miranda rights and when she took the blood alcohol test and how long it had been since she drank. She has to write down everything that she can think of, even if it doesn’t strike her as relevant.
You actually have already mentioned what to do next. Yes, your sister needs to hire a DUI lawyer. She needs and deserves an experienced DUI defense lawyer who will fight for her rights. The single most important thing that she can do for herself is to find a qualified lawyer who knows California DUI law.
