California DUI lawyers practice in a specialized area of criminal defense.
A California DUI attorney can require a
prosecutor to prove a DUI beyond and to the exclusion of every
reasonable doubt. Blood
and breath
tests can be challenged. The breath machine might have
been in error, and the results could be challenged. The
circumstances of the
arrest might also be subject to legal attack.

Ten important facts regarding
your Driver's License
Many
people have entered guilty pleas in DUI cases without realizing that
they are giving up valuable legal
rights, and
that various
legal
defenses may be available to them. Few
lawyers are equipped to discover
these defenses and successfully defend against a drunk driving arrest
and charge. No one can ever give any guarantee of success, but your
selection of a lawyer is the most important decision you make
to protect yourself. It can make all the difference.
In DUI defense, selection of your lawyer makes all the
difference. Finding a lawyer with a significant history of
successful defense and committed to winning against a DUI
arrest ,the "impossible" case, is chancy. Few
Attorneys in the state have demonstrated a record of success
in DUI Jury Trial. However, many criminal lawyers accept
these cases anyway. Many even promote and market themselves as
DUI Attorneys without a history of success. Admittedly, a winning
history is no guarantee of success in the future or in your
individual case. But you may want to consider it when selecting your
Attorney. You may wish to consider it as well in selecting your
lawyer to defend against suspension of your drivers license in the
Admin Per Se DMV administrative license suspension hearings.
If you are pulled over on the suspicion of driving under the
influence, an officer will ask you to take a field sobriety test
(FST).
If you fail, you will be taken to a police station, and asked to
take a chemical test for your blood alcohol content (BAC). You are
given the choice of taking a blood, breath, or urine test. If you
refuse to take this test, or don’t complete the test, your license
will automatically be suspended for one year.
If the test results show you to have a BAC of .08 percent or
more, your license will be taken away on the spot and automatically
suspended for four months. (You will be given a 30-day temporary
driving permit to allow for a review and appeal of your case to the DMV.) If this is a second offense, your license will be suspended
for one year. The DMV will charge a fee of up to $100 to re-issue
the driving privilege.
California has an administrative "Per se" law, meaning,
"in and of itself." If you have had enough drinks to raise
your BAC to or above the legal limit and you drive a vehicle, you
are breaking the law.
