Actual Case Results
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.
Our client, a truck driver was arrested in Newhall and blew a .22% on the breath machine in the
field and a .21% on the breathalyzer back at the Santa Clarita Sheriff station. Matthew took the
case to trial and the client was acquitted on all counts after a 4 day trial in Division 3 of the
Valencia Court. The District Attorney put on 4 CHP officers and the lawyer took apart each one
of their statements one by one. After the trial the jurors said that they did not accept the
testimony of the officers that our client was DUI, even though their was an alleged confession.
In yet another recent DUI case we defended we were able to avoid jail for our client after he
was stopped in the Hungry Valley off road recreational area. Following a questionable stop,
the client was arrested and blew a .21 % on the breath machine at the Santa Clarita Sheriff
station. We went to Court for the client and negotiated a disposition which did not require any
jail even though the client had multiple prior DUI convictions, the last one less than four years
before the current arrest. Our client never had to appear in Court to answer to the drunk driving
allegations.
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.
