Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is one of the most common violations in the Los Angeles County area. The law provides for an arrest if your blood alcohol level was 0.08% or greater (California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (b)). It also allows the police to arrest you if they feel you were not in any condition to drive because you had alcohol and/or drugs in your system (California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a)).

The consequences of a DUI conviction can include incarceration, fines, community service and driver license suspension/revocation. In addition to the criminal charges, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will initiate an administrative case against your driving privilege. Our office has successfully represented countless clients in both criminal and administrative DUI cases.

In order to properly defend your DUI case, our office conducts a two-tier analysis of your case. First and foremost, we must make sure that your constitutional rights were not violated in the course of your arrest. Specifically, we investigate whether the police did not violate your 4th and 5th Amendment rights. If such a violation occurred, the likelihood that your case is dismissed or reduced to a lower offence increases significantly. The second step in the analysis is to investigate the validity of the scientific evidence, that is whether the breath or blood sample was accurately measured by the police. Due to improper use, poor calibration, poor maintenance, or negligent laboratory procedures, the results that the measuring devices the police use can prove unreliable results. We understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various kinds of scientific instruments for measuring BAC whether in blood or breath.

EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Over the years we have successfully represented many clients charged with DUI’s as described above. We have observed that the longer one postpones in hiring counsel, the greater the problem may become.

Please feel free to call for an initial FREE CONSULTATION in our office, or in the privacy and convenience of your own home, during which we can explore how best to defend and resolve your case. Our 24-hour telephone number is (818) 205-1555.
