Arrested For Drunk Driving Or DUI?


The law firm of Pedder, Hesseltine, Walker & Toth, LLP, is dedicated to keeping our clients across Contra Costa County and across the Bay Area safe as they face some of their most difficult legal challenges. Part of that commitment includes vigorous DUI defense when you are arrested on drunk driving charges.

Law enforcement can often act unlawfully to prove a DUI arrest, and one conviction can have consequences that last a lifetime. You should never simply accept the charges — with an experienced attorney by your side, you can often get your charges reduced or eliminated altogether.

Proven Resources To Build The Best Possible Case

We are equipped to handle all aspects of your DUI defense, especially if you choose to fight the charges and need the representation. Attorney Wally Hesseltine — a longtime member of the California DUI Lawyers Association — is committed to negotiating assertively for a result you can live with. Our approach may include:

  • Calling on a proven, credible forensic toxicologist or other experts to challenge the evidence against you
  • Pursuing any available alternative sentencing or diversion program options to minimize disruption of your life and potential damage to your future

DUI laws are zealously enforced throughout California, resulting in the arrest of people across the social spectrum. Don’t let one mistake derail your future. If you are arrested, we can help.
