Drunk Driving Defense
If you are charged with a DUI in California, you must request a DMV hearing within 10 days or you face losing your driver's license. In this practice, attorney Frank M. Nunes regularly defend clients charged with vehicle code violations, including:
- 23152 Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- 23154 Driving under the influence of alcohol while on probation for prior DUI
- 23140 Driving with a .05 BAC or more for persons under 21

Traffic Violations Defense
Highway commuting is a way of life for residents and for visitors in California. In the rush to get to destinations along the I-5 corridor and other roadways, many drivers exceed the speed limits that are considered reasonable. When caught, citations can result in fines that can reach $1,000 and even license suspension.
As a defense lawyer, Mr. Nunes will help you understand the charges you face and explain what rights you are entitled to in court for moving violations, including:
- 22348 (b) Traveling on a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour
- 22349 Traveling at a speed greater than 65 miles per hour on highways
- 22350 Driving at a speed greater than what is reasonable due to weather, visibility, traffic and highway conditions
In addition to representing casual drivers, Mr. Nunes also defends commercial drivers facing log book violations or driving with a suspended/revoked license.
