PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS
OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES
DUI Arrest & Field Sobriety
Clients rely on us to protect their rights by careful case evaluation, including details of their arrests, and the administration and reliability of field sobriety tests (FSTs) and chemical tests.
Just because you were arrested and "failed" the FSTs, does not mean you are guilty.
Just because you were arrested and "failed" the FSTs, does not mean you are guilty.
Let's face it, sometimes the police just get it wrong. The police must follow exacting constitutional procedures before they can stop you, arrest you, and subject you to invasion of your rights and the integrity of your body.
It is our job to hold the police to those standards on your behalf.

DUI Court Case
The DUI court case typically involves multiple appearances in court for arraignment, pretrial conferences and hearings and, where advantageous to you, resolution of your case before trial. In most DUI cases, we handle all of these court proceedings on your behalf so you can focus on your other responsibilities without having to take time off to appear in court.
The DUI Court case can be fertile ground for challenging police conduct, field sobriety tests and chemical tests. It is during the DUI Court case that we can show the DA the weaknesses in their case and present you to the court in the best possible light.

The DMV
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) typically takes administrative action to suspend your privilege to drive a motor vehicle based on your DUI arrest. This DMV administrative action is separate from, but related to, your DUI court case.
You have only ten days from the date of your DUI arrest to demand a hearing to challenge the DMV administrative action to suspend your driver's license. Clients who promptly retain us following their DUI arrests almost always have us handle this because of the technical nature of DMV proceedings.
Keep in mind that DMV is not held to proof beyond a reasonable doubt to suspend your driver's license. However, in most DUI cases, If you are acquitted (found not guilty) in your court case, the DMV is required to set aside the driver's license suspension and reinstate your privilege to drive a motor vehicle in California.
