DUI Attorney Serving Los Angeles

Challenging Tests & Evidence in a Drunk Driving Case

A key part of handling any Los Angeles DUI case will be challenging test results and all evidence gathered by law enforcement and used by the prosecuting attorney in an attempt to secure a conviction against you. Your attorney will need to evaluate every single aspect of the evidence that has been brought against you, including the manner in which it was discovered, collected and processed. Even a single mistake or violation of your rights may impact what evidence is considered admissible or inadmissible in court proceedings and at your DMV hearing.

Most often, the government will rely upon the following evidence to secure a DUI conviction against a Los Angeles driver:

• The officer’s testimony, including: observations about the driver’s behavior while driving the vehicle, any statements the driver made about how much he or she was drinking or whether he or she was drunk, the driver’s behavior after he or she was pulled over, whether the driver had bloodshot eyes, whether there were open containers in the vehicle, and more.
• The driver’s performance on field sobriety tests.
• A breath test or blood test that was administered to gauge the driver’s blood alcohol concentration.
• Any other witness testimony, such as a passenger in the vehicle or another driver on the road.
