Blood Test / Breath Test

Orange County DUI Lawyer

A blood test or breath test will be used by law enforcement in order determine the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of a driver who has been arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). The evidence obtained from these test results is a key part of an Orange County DUI criminal case, as well as DMV hearing.

As an Orange County DUI defense attorney, I understand how to help clients whose blood alcohol concentration was determined to be higher than the legal limit after taking a blood test or breath test. I am familiar with these tests, their faults, and how they must be administered in order to be considered valid. With so many Orange County DUI and other criminal cases, it is easy for a test to be conducted improperly, for a client's rights to be violated, or for some error to occur which results in breath test or blood test results being suppressed from a trial.

It is my job, as an Orange County DUI lawyer, to use my understanding of California drunk driving law as well as blood and breath tests to help my clients reach the best outcome possible for their case, even in the face of failed or refused blood or breath tests.

Orange County Blood Test / Breath Test Refusals

California is a state which abides by an Implied Consent law, under which a licensed driver is deemed to have agreed, upon receiving his/her license, to consent to chemical tests if he/she is arrested for DUI. Blood test or breath test refusal will result in the suspension of your driver's license for 1 year, for a first offense. The suspension will go into effect 30 days after the date of refusal.

I can offer my services as an Orange County DUI attorney to help you if you have been accused of breath test or blood test refusal. You will be given the opportunity to contest these charges as a DMV hearing, and I can use my skills as a DUI attorney at these hearings in order to help my clients. I will work to help win the hearing so my client can keep his/her license.
