How do you challenge a Santa Clarita DUI or Drunk Driving charge?
With experience. The experience that comes from representing thousands of
clients charged with a Drunk Driving in the Santa Clarita Valley. Clients who
are law abiding, good people who unfortunately have been arrested after
consuming alcohol and driving. The lawyers at our firm have thousands of
Driving Under The Influence cases to their credit, and countless dismissals of
charges due to evidentiary issues and discovery of police misconduct. They
have fought all types of cases and challenge all DWI arrests, even those
made at DUI Checkpoints. They defend Valencia driver's license hearings
on a regular basis and teach seminars on how to challenge a DWI. You need
an advocate who knows the DUI Laws!
Many lawyers believe in a policy of plea-bargains and quick guilty pleas. But
our DUI Attorneys are true advocates. A true advocate that fights for your
best interests, knowing that what happens in the case will determine your
future record. The state of California has scores of police, attorneys, and
scientific experts representing their cases. Who do you have to represent
yours?
Do you have someone who has worked for the state district attorney's office
and knows what the strategies are on the other side of the aisle? Do you
have someone that also has defended Drug Possession charges that also
arise from the arrest? Do you have someone who has published articles on
how to defend DUI cases? Do you have someone who has actually gone to
trial on the issues in your case? What if a Hit and Run was involved? Do you
have a Lawyer familiar with how to defend driving under the influence cases
involving drugs ? Our DUI Lawyers can provide answers to all of your legal
questions and present a solid defense for someone charged with a Los
Angeles County, Valencia and Santa Clarita Drunk Driving case.
Actual Case Synopsis
A recent example of a case we defended is as follows: Our client was
stopped on the freeway in the San Fernando Valley by the CHP for weaving.
He was given a number of field sobriety tests and a preliminary alcohol
screening test which displayed a .14% blood alcohol level. He was then
arrested and transported to the LAPD station for a breath test which again
showed results of .14 and .13. He was subsequently booked on charges of
VC 23152(a) and 23152(b) and issued a pink temporary license. He was
initially reluctant to hire a Lawyer but he had a prior DUI conviction 4 years
earlier and learned that he was facing mandatory jail time and a 2 year
license suspension. We were retained and immediately requested a DMV
hearing and obtained the arrest reports. Our investigation revealed a
potential problem with the breath test so we hired a toxicologist and worked
up the case. Initially we went to Court and encountered a resistance from the
City Prosecutor to dismiss the charges. However, not deterred we filed a
motion to dismiss on constitutional grounds and prior to the hearing on our
motion we were approached by the same prosecutor who agreed to dismiss
both DUI charges and work a plea to, among other things, "blocking a
sidewalk". At the DMV hearing we presented our expert and the hearing
officer set aside the suspension.
If you have been arrested for a DUI and your breath test was over .08%, or if
there was a blood sample withdrawn or a refusal reported, the police
probably took your license and issued you a notice of suspension and 30-day
temporary license. A first offense DUI involves a four-month suspension; a
refusal or a second offense within ten years will result in a two year
suspension. These suspensions can be successfully contested by an
experienced DUI attorney, but it is critical that the individual or, preferably, his
attorney, CONTACT THE DMV WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE ARREST. The
importance of this cannot be overstated; without a properly submitted
request, there will be no hearing and the suspension will automatically take
effect 30 days after the arrest.
The bottom line is no one in the criminal justice system will have any
sympathy for you and your case. You must act to minimize the consequences
of the arrest. Mistakes made today will forever haunt you and your driving
record. Do the smart thing, hire a professional to fight the case.
