Our legal team has extensive experience in challenging the evidence that led to a DUI arrest, including the initial field sobriety tests. These tests have many problems, and the best of them has a 77% accuracy rate when administered correctly, according to the NHTSA. There are countless cases in which the procedures that are necessary are not followed, and the results of the tests flawed or based on a subjective decision by a law enforcement officer. Testing results from breath and blood tests are also subject to error, either in the administration of the tests, wrongly calibrated testing devices, or lab failures, among others. We carefully analyze every detail of the case to identify the potential areas that could be used in the defense of your case. We know what we are doing in defending DUI cases, and urge you to contact our firm immediately if you have been charged.

California Vehicle Code under section 23153 makes it unlawful to operate a vehicle while under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. A case in which an injury has occurred, DUI with injury, is a very serious legal matter that can lead to severe penalties. The blood test must take place within 3 hours of the accident. As with any blood test, there are factors that could affect the results that should be evaluated immediately.

Our firm also offers DMV lawyers that can schedule a DMV hearing and represent you at this hearing to take action to help you fight to avoid the suspension or revocation of your driver's license. As your license will be automatically suspended unless a DMV hearing is arranged, this is a critical aspect of any DUI charge. We represent the accused in all types of felony DUI charges, as well as individuals who are facing a first DUI offense. We also represent people who have earlier convictions on multiple DUI offenses, young drivers who are accused of underage DUI, and offer our services in victim representation.
