Latest Santa Clarita Court Victory
Attorney Matthew Ruff was retained by a commercial driver who was arrested for DUI on
Newhall Ranch Road on ramp to the 14 freeway. The client was parked with the engine
running to the vehicle. He was breathalyzed and his BAC was .22%. After his arrest he waited
too long to request a DMV hearing so his license (including his CDL) was suspended for 1
year. He met with Matthew who told him "We're going to beat this case" A jury was impaneled
on January 3, 2012 in Division 3 of the Newhall-Valencia Court and Mr. Ruff went to trial. After
3 days and the testimony of 4 CHP officers the jury came back with a "not guilty" on all counts.
Matthew is currently working to have the DMV reinstate the client's driving privilege.
