San Diego DUI Defenses Attorney

Effective Defenses for DUI Cases

When being charged with DUI, it can be extremely upsetting and concerning. Many people do not exercise all of the options available to them when they are arrested for DUI, believing that if they failed a breath or blood test, or a field sobriety test, and were proven to have a BAC over the .08 legal limit, that there is no way to avoid conviction. However, DUI cases and the laws and procedures surrounding an arrest are extremely complicated, and there are many instances in which evidence can be suppressed or thrown out, an officer's actions may not have been appropriate, or you had a high reading on a breath or blood test for a perfectly valid reason - other than drinking . In these cases, retaining the service of an experienced San Diego DUI attorney can help you fight to be free of the burden of criminal DUI charges.

If the arresting officer on your case did not follow correct procedure, there may be a possibility that they did not have cause to stop you or arrest you in the first place. In a case like this, even if you tested above the legal limit, your case may be thrown out due to officer error. Similarly, if they did not follow each step to the letter while administering a chemical test to test your BAC, the results may be deemed invalid. There are very strict and specific procedures that must be followed in order for a breath or blood test to be valid, and missing one step in that process can lead to the test results being thrown out. Your attorney will investigate the circumstances of your arrest and testing to determine if there are any holes in the officer's story. Finally, there are instances where a breath or blood test can give high results when an individual is not intoxicated. Having eaten, drank, or vomited in the time just prior to testing can affect your test results. Furthermore, there are can be instances where the alcohol has not been absorbed into your body yet, therefore not affecting your driving abilities. Fighting your DUI charges is the only way to avoid a conviction, and having an attorney who understands the legal procedures will be your best shot at defeating your charges.
