Los Angeles DUI Appeals Attorney

Overturning Your DUI Related Conviction

Being convicted for operating a vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol can have serious consequences, affecting your professional life and future prospects.  DUI offenders can face huge fines, have their driver's license revoked, and jail or prison time, based upon the actual charges.  If there were errors in the court process, it could be possible to have a DUI conviction reversed through an appeal. A full review of your case should take place immediately after the conviction, as there is a short period of time in which to file an appeal.

DUI cases rely heavily on evidence gathered at the scene of the crime or upon request.  Law enforcement officers have strict guidelines they must follow in order to perform a breath, blood, or field sobriety test.  If the officer or other official overstepped the bounds of the law when gathering this crucial evidence, that evidence should not have been allowed in court. In some unfair verdicts, a judge may not have allowed important evidence that would have strengthened a defendant's case.  Whatever the circumstances in the DUI crime, if you feel that you have been received an unfair trial and would like to appeal the court's decision, it is essential that you talk to a Los Angeles DUI attorney immediately.
