Los Angeles DUI Attorneys

DUI Defenses in California

When the DUI attorneys at Gold & Witham take on a new DUI (driving under the influence)  case, we always thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the arrest, blood or breath alcohol testing and more in order to determine what defenses will be applicable. We will apply this at our client’s DMV hearing and during their criminal case – throughout the entire DUI court process in order to achieve the best result possible.

With a valid legal defense by an experienced Los Angeles DUI lawyer, your chances of receiving lessened penalties or of having your case dismissed are greatly improved. There are a number of questions you can ask yourself and that your attorney at Gold & Witham will explore when evaluating your case and building your defense:

• Did the officer have probable cause to pull you over?
• Were you read your Miranda rights?
• Were you informed about the repercussions if you refused blood/breath testing?
• Was the breathalyzer properly calibrated?
• Did a licensed or otherwise acceptable individual perform your blood test?
• Was the blood test analyzed properly to determine your blood alcohol concentration?
• Did the officer violate any protocol in your arrest?
• If you were involved in an accident, did you actually cause that accident?
• Did a medical condition negatively affect the results of your field sobriety tests?
• Did the officer tell you to “keep blowing” into the breathalyzer?
• When was your blood alcohol level tested?

Because the circumstances of every case are different, there may be numerous inaccuracies associated with the police report and arrest process that could work in your favor. By working with toxicologists and our entire team of DUI defense specialists, we can devise a plan to defend your case to the fullest extent. Our #1 goal is to resolve your case in the most successful means possible. In some cases, this means working with the prosecutor to reduce the charges, while other times we believe the case has enough merit to proceed to trial. During each point in the DUI criminal process and DMV hearing, our lawyers will be by your side each step of the way to advise you of the best decision to be made.
