Intricacy of Our Defense Model

Extensive experience in the field of DUI law

Our firm has extensive experience in the field of DUI law.  Our office has represented clients throughout Southern California with their DUI charges. 

We use multiple avenues of defense for our clients including calling experts, investigators and witnesses in the representation of our clients.  In many instances our clients have available several defenses, which can assist them during their cases.  Below are a few of the defenses that we use to reduce or dismiss DUI charges.

Miranda Warning:

Failure to administer the Miranda Warning is a defense that our firm employs frequently.  Our firm is tactical in the use of this defense, and we attempt to use it to our client’s advantage.  The Miranda Warning is a person’s basic right that so often is omitted by law enforcement.  This defense is case specific and can assist us in your defense.

Chemical Testing:

Our firm exploits the use of chemical testing to the advantage of our clients.  In many instances the chemical testing may not render an accurate or reasonable result. Our firm will investigate chemical testing and its nature as related to our client’s specific case.

Blood-Alcohol Concentration:

Our firm brings issue with many of the results of the BAC tests.  Many of these results can be inaccurate in nature.  The result of the Breathalyzer test may be flawed or assumed based on admission of the test by law enforcement.  Our firm tackles this defense, questioning the process in order to serve our clients interests. In some cases, the presence of a medical condition causes reflux, which can lead to higher BAC results.  Additionally, the timing of the BAC test can be a defense as well if alcohol is still in the client’s mouth (“mouth alcohol”) at the time of the testing.  All of these defenses will be explored when fighting your DUI charge.

Lack of Cause:

In many of our cases the arresting officer simply lacked the probable cause to make an arrest.  An officer can only arrest you if probable cause has been presented.  This relates to the fact that the evidence of your case must be sufficient enough in which a reasonable officer would believe the crime of driving under the influence has been committed.  In cases where the officer lacked probable cause, the charges must be dismissed.  However, even in the event that a Judge decides probable cause did exist, the preliminary hearing allows our firm to place the arresting officer on the stand, confront them about their reasoning, and question them about their tactics.  In many instances this leads to the Prosecution reducing or settling the DUI charges in favor of our clients.
