In our criminal justice system, a person is innocent until proven guilty, and this rings true with DUI charges as well. During the criminal proceeding, your attorney will have the opportunity to present the judge with compelling information and evidence that may help prove your innocence. All aspects of your case will be examined by your attorney as he prepares your case. The police stop, arrest procedure, field sobriety test, blood test, and breathalyzer test will all be evaluated in an effort to find some defense to your drunk driving charges. Discrepancies in police behavior and sobriety testing are frequent and common, so your lawyer will always be on the look out for these as a possible defense to DUI charges.

DUI (driving under the influence) is a relatively common criminal offense throughout Los Angeles. It is also very serious.

Many Los Angeles drivers simply do not know what to do in the face of a DUI arrest or charge. They may feel as though accepting a plea bargain is their only option.

By consulting a DUI lawyer and determining what rights and legal options you have, you can positively impact the outcome of your case.
