Out of State Drivers

If you are arrested for a Santa Barbara DUI and are from out-of-state it is unlikely that the arresting officer will confiscate your license as it is the property of another state.  There are still serious consequences for being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Santa Barbara.  Your driving privileges will have the same restrictions as any licensed driver in the State of California following an arrest for a California DUI and given the interstate compact, your home-state may recognize the suspensions imposed.  If you have been arrested for a DUI our team of Santa Barbara Criminal Defense Specialists can make all appearances on your behalf in most cases.  Likely if you are an out-of-state driver arrested for a Santa Barbara DUI you will not have to return to California to make any court appearances or attend your DMV hearing.  In addition, our Santa Barbara DUI firm is fully equipped to meet all of your needs through remote conferences and correspondence.
