Legal Question in DUI Law in California

If you retain defense counsel who truly understand drinking/driving cases, then there often is a case despite any blood-alcohol ratio.

To begin with, the testing was done on a machine. Every one of these machines has, by law, a permissable margin of error. In most states that margin is 0.01. This means that a reading of 0.08, even if everything is done perfectly, is really a statement that the reading is somewhere between 0.07 and 0.09.

There may be other defenses, many particular to one case and not another, that can only be recognized by a truly knowledgable drinking/driving lawyer. I strongly suggest that you retain one.
