Pleasanton, CA - At Gorelick Law Offices, clients receive dedicated representation from Attorney Lynn Gorelick, a respected criminal defense attorney with over 42 years of experience and long-standing recognition throughout Alameda County.

This foundation allows her to offer clients not only skilled legal guidance, but also compassionate legal advocacy and assertive defense strategies tailored to each case.
According to Attorney Lynn Gorelick, individuals facing criminal charges must have a clear understanding of the accusations against them, the potential penalties involved, and the legal process ahead. This includes knowing which courthouse will handle their case, how to pay court fees, and how a conviction could affect their future, such as employment, housing, and driving privileges.
With over 42 years of experience practicing in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, Attorney Gorelick is deeply familiar with the local court systems and legal procedures. She is passionate about guiding her clients through each stage of their case and works diligently to provide clear, informed legal support tailored to each individual’s needs.
One of the most common, but serious, criminal offenses in California is driving under the influence (DUI). Under state law, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or while impaired by drugs, including prescription or over-the-counter medications. If a person is suspected of DUI, they can be arrested and charged, even for a first-time offense.
DUI cases are time-sensitive. After an arrest, individuals have only 10 days to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to challenge the automatic suspension of their driver's license. Missing this deadline can result in a loss of driving privileges, even before a court trial occurs.
Penalties for DUI vary based on the specific circumstances of the case and whether the individual has prior convictions. Possible consequences include fines, jail time, DUI education classes, community service, license suspension or revocation, installation of an ignition interlock device, and increased insurance premiums.
As an experienced DUI defense attorney, Lynn Gorelick develops personalized legal strategies that address the unique facts of each case. She advocates on behalf of her clients at DMV hearings and in court, working to protect their rights and minimize penalties. Her client-focused approach and thorough understanding of California DUI laws have earned her widespread recognition and trust.
