WHY SHOULD I FIGHT A DUI CHARGE

THE TRUTH ABOUT A DUI/DWI PROSECUTION:

This section is short but honest. Please read:

We begin with a simple fact, it is impossible for anyone to detect a person's alcohol level at any given moment. It simply cannot be done - not with the current technology. It is however being done in every state of the union, it is being done by codifying (turning into law) presumptions. Yes, you heard it right, and yes it is the truth! Our local governments have, for the sake of saving lives (based on studies that are sometimes questionable), codified presumptions in DUI cases that simply do not apply to you. Why do you ask? Well, it is the only way that they can stop and convict people who are truly guilty of drunk driving. However, in order to do so, many innocent people have and will continue to be convicted. It is one of the only areas of criminal law where the system strays from a well-rooted legal jurisprudence principle: We protect and provide rights to the accused, including the guilty, in order to protect an innocent man, or woman, from being wrongly convicted.

So what are these presumptions that exist in California DUI cases? Let's start with the most basic one: Allowing the presumption that if you are tested within three hours of driving, such test result will be considered your alcohol level at the time of driving! What they are saying is that we will use the result of your test, even if it's obtained later (up to three hours later), and claim that this was your alcohol level at the time of driving! But this can't be true, how can our legal system allow such a fallacy? Better yet how can our system allow someone to be convicted on such a premise... As they say, this is just the tip of the iceberg!

It takes a skilled and knowledgeable attorney to be able to successfully maneuver any CRIMINAL case through the court system.  However, It takes an even more skilled and talented DUI Attorney to maneuver a DUI case through the system.
