FAQ about DUI arrests and court appearances in Estacada, Oregon:

A common question we hear from people after an arrest in Estacada is, “What is an Arraignment?” The court date written on your citation and/or your release agreement is the appearance you need to make for your Arraignment. In Oregon criminal cases, this is your first court appearance. This is not your trial date, and your case is not expected to be resolved at this initial hearing. Rather, this is how you are officially checked into the court system and future dates are set. Your arraignment timeline varies depending on which agency arrested you, and which court you are scheduled to appear in. Your arraignment is usually at least a couple of weeks after the arrest, giving you time to seek out representation. At a DUI Arraignment, you’ll learn two important things: What crimes you are charged with, and when your next court date is. This process is much smoother and less stressful if you have retained an attorney in advance, as they have prepared you for all the eventualities.
