DUI Defense
Orange County DUI Lawyer
As a long-time Orange County defense attorney, I am extremely familiar with DUI defense strategies and how to work with clients on their unique drunk driving cases in order to pursue a successful outcome.
While no respectable lawyer would guarantee a case win or dropped charges, I can say that I will guarantee that I will fight as hard as I can and use all the resources I have in order to contest the charges that my clients face. I believe that by going above and beyond what may be normally expected of legal counsel, I can achieve success in a greater number of cases and help more of my clients avoid the DUI penalties they would otherwise face.
Orange County DUI Defense Strategies
Building an Orange County DUI defense strategy is not always an easy task. It takes a thorough understanding of California drunk driving laws and penalties, as well as case law on the subject. Additionally, it takes familiarity with the client's particular case and situation. From my experience as an Orange County DUI lawyer, I have found that no two drunk driving cases are the same, and thus it is essential to build a tailor-made plan of defense.
Some of the factors which I will review and investigate, in regards to an Orange County drunk driving case, include the following:
- Whether the initial police stop was reasonable and lawful
- Whether the defendant was read his/her Miranda rights
- Whether the field sobriety tests were directed properly by the arresting officer
- Whether a physical condition existed in the defendant which may have caused failed field sobriety tests
- Whether the blood test / breath test was administered correctly
- Whether the breath test machine was calibrated properly
- Whether a physical condition existed in the defendant which may have caused altered results to appear in the breath test or blood test
- Whether the defendant was informed of the consequences of refusing chemical testing (a breath or blood test)
- Whether the officer truly had probable cause to make a DUI arrest
- Whether any of the officer's observations of intoxication were actually signs of tiredness, illness or another explainable physical condition
These are just a few of the areas which I will explore as an Orange County DUI defense lawyer.
