Los Angeles DUI Attorneys

Drunk Driving ◦ Vehicular Manslaughter ◦ Hit and Run

Representing Clients throughout California

Californians who are found to have been driving drunk or under the influence of drugs during an auto accident in which someone died may be charged with second-degree murder. This is but one example of the way alcohol can lead to secondary convictions beyond simply a DUI charge. People of all walks of life find themselves charged with DUI.

Protecting the Rights of the Accused

Our experience enables us to evaluate all aspects of a drunk driving arrest to ensure that the rights of the accused are preserved throughout the criminal justice process. We are often successful in challenging the results of breathalyzer and other blood alcohol tests. We demand that the state meet its burden of proof in support of DUI / DWI charges against our clients.

Examining the Evidence

Our California DUI attorneys apply diligence, experience, and intelligent powers of observation to the development of a strong defense for each of our DUI clients. We consider all available scientific evidence, including evaluations of the metabolism, consumption, and alcohol absorption rates of particular individuals.

We believe that we live in an era in which we cannot automatically accept any crime lab reports without scrutiny. Well-intentioned laboratory technicians can easily overlook key pieces of information, leading to invalid lab reports. Errors occur far too often to leave our clients' welfare to chance.

Legal Defenses

We examine every available legal defense. If a client was arrested for refusing to take a field sobriety test, we examine whether they were properly advised of their rights before doing so. Sometimes, in good faith, law-abiding citizens fail misunderstand the instructions that should be delivered by the law enforcement officer at the time the chemical test is given.

In addition to defense of people charged with DUI, we represent individuals as well as employers of drivers who have been charged with vehicular manslaughter, hit and run incidents, or driving while under the influence of illegal drugs or prescription medication.
