Do You Need a Hood River DUI Attorney?

A DUI charge is a serious allegation, and not a time to leave things to chance. DUI convictions have consequences that can spill outside the courtroom—fines, jail time, difficulties at home, challenges in finding a job and housing, financial issues, and more. The smart thing to do is have an experienced professional representing your interests throughout the process, so that you can avoid the most damaging consequences for you and your family. Accordingly, finding yourself a Hood River DUI attorney should be your primary concern.

FAQ About DUI Arrests in Hood River County, Oregon

Clients from Hood River County commonly ask us, “What is a DMV Hearing?” If you have never been arrested for a DUI, then you are likely unaware that the DMV has its own process to determine whether or not your license will be suspended. This is called the “implied consent” process. When you are arrested, the arresting officer will hand you the “Implied Consent Combined Report” (ICCR)—usually a long yellow piece of paper that might have a temporary driver’s license attached. You have 10 days from your arrest to request a hearing with the DMV. This will be your chance to contest the suspension of your license.

Because the window is such a tight one, and being arrested can cause a lot of stress and hardship, this window can pass without you noticing. As you are deciding what attorney is the right fit for you, please keep this 10-day window in mind. Reynolds Defense Firms attorney’s can make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to defend yourself and contest your license suspension with the DMV.

About Hood River County, Oregon

While many of our clients may not find abstaining from alcohol to be difficult, it is important to remember that your release conditions typically forbid the use of intoxicants. Therefore, we put together a guide to help with finding fun, social activities in Hood River County that do not revolve around alcohol.

The Columbia River Gorge

It would be impossible to write a list of fun activities to do in Hood River County without first mentioning the Gorge. If you love to be outdoors, then this is the right county for you to be in. You can hike on any number of trails from easy, moderate, to difficult; go camping, wind surfing, mountain biking, fishing (with the proper license!), and much more! The Travel Oregon website lists all these activities, and more, as well as the best places to go on the Gorge for each. Get out there and enjoy this beautiful area!

Mt. Hood

Mt. Hood is another icon of the region, and it offers year-round attractions! Of course there are the usual winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, and sledding, but the warmer months offer camping, hiking, fishing, disc golf, and sliding down the mountain at Skii Bowl! And while it might be a little pricey, the Timberline Lodge is a definite bucket list item, especially if you are a fan of “The Shining”. Located 6,000 feet up on Mt Hood, you can reach it by taking Timberline Road in Government Camp.

Parkdale

If you’re from the area, you are likely aware of this farming community in the Columbia River Gorge called Parkdale. If you’re into photography, especially landscape photography, Parkdale is the place for you to go. It has rolling hills, mountain views, orchards, and the most picturesque scenery that will be perfect for your photography portfolio. There’s also Lavander Valley Farms, where in the summer months you can learn all about the 10 varieties harvested there. You can explore a 7,000 year old lava flow, with the best access being from the Laurance Lake Road. If all these activities have made you hungry, you grab a bite at the Apple Valley BBQ. This community is located along the Mt. Hood Scenic Byway (Highway 35).
