Laguna Beach DUI Attorney
Arrested and Charged with DUI in Laguna Beach?
There are few more upsetting situations than being pulled over by law enforcement, performing field sobriety tests and then being arrested and charged with DUI. If you have been charged, either after being pulled over for suspicion or in a sobriety checkpoint, you need to contact a Laguna Beach DUI lawyer from Okabe & Haushalter. Our firm has garnered a reputation as one of the most aggressive defense law firms in the area, and our lead attorneys are both named as Super Lawyers. We know our business and we fight hard for each individual we represent. Whether you are facing charges involving a
first DUI offense,
multiple DUI offenses,
felony DUI or
underage DUI, we know how to determine the best course of action.
Most DUI charges are based upon BAC (blood alcohol concentration) evidence from breath and blood tests as well as the initial evidence from
field sobriety tests. There is no perfect testing system, and both breath and blood testing can be incorrectly administered, the lab procedures could be faulty or the testing equipment itself could have problems, such as wrongly calibrated or maintained. We move forward quickly when we take on a DUI case. The first critical action is to review all evidence for flaws and errors. There is no perfect case, and the burden of proof always lies with the prosecuting attorney. We make room for reasonable doubt or fight to get charges dismissed, reduced or could address the issue of penalties, depending upon the circumstances of your specific case. We will fight for any and all advantages, no matter how serious your case may appear.
Our quality legal team is involved in many criminal appeals including
DUI appeals. This can be a crucial action, particularly in felony DUI convictions. We offer more information for you on our
DUI defense overview,
DUI overview, and
DUI Q & A pages. We are here to discuss your individual arrest, charges and evidence, and we urge you to contact us immediately.
