Fighting for Your Future in Encino, Sherman Oaks, and Studio City

There are a myriad of possible defenses when you are fighting a DUI charge. Your lawyer will be well-versed in all of the potential situations. For instance, the breathalyzer machine can be very inaccurate if it is not calibrated correctly. Also, mouth alcohol and stomach acids may also influence the results and give a false positive. There are also many different medical issues or situations that can cause a field sobriety test to be inaccurate. Your lawyer may also choose to fight your case on the basis of a violation of due process and the inadmissibility of evidence. These are only some of the ways in which your case could be defended.

Knowing when to fight and what to fight for are both just as important as knowing how to fight. These are all qualities that your DUI attorney should possess.
