DUI and DMV question ?

Q. I got a DUI in January and I went to court but they said they are still waiting for the results so they rescheduled my court date. I went to the DMV because my license was already suspended before the DUI ( I didn’t know) and the DMV told me I needed a SR-22 and to pay my reissue fee and I will have my license back. 
So I’m curious to know, since it is showing at the DMV that I have a DUI, does this automatically mean my blood results came back over 0.08 ? 
I am trying to figure this out before I get a lawyer. What can a lawyer do for someone with a first DUI ? Expunge it ? Or somehow make it now show on my record? Or?

A. The blood results may or may not be ready. For violation dates on or after 1/1/2019, you may be eligible for a CDL before anything actually happens at DMV or in court. SB1046 is now the law and allows persons arrested for DUI to avoid any actual suspension time by getting an SR22, enrolling in a DUI school, putting a breath machine (IID) on their car and paying DMV fees.

If your license was suspended for some other reason you'd need to clear that problem up first.

Call DMV at (916) 657-6525 and confirm what you need to do.

A good DUI lawyer will help you understand what's happening and help guide you through the process. There isn't a way for attorneys to make guarantees about the outcome of a case without getting involved. Call a couple for a free case evaluation and you'll have a little more to go on.
