Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Re: DUI - Lawyer

Thanks for your posting, and here is your answer:

Yes, you can represent yourself -- although it a terrible idea. It is sort of like a doctor doing an appendectomy on himself.

"Drunk driving" is a very complex field with increasingly harsh consequences. There is a minefield of complicated procedural, evidentiary, constitutional, sentencing and administrative license issues.

A qualified attorney, however, can review the case for defects, have the court suppress evidence, compel discovery of such things as calibration and maintenance records for the breath machine, have blood samples independently analyzed, negotiate for a lesser charge or reduced sentence, obtain expert witnesses for trial, contest the administrative license suspension, etc.

If you'd like more information, please feel free to email me or call me at 1-877-568-2977. Thanks, and best of luck,

There are procedural and technical defenses to a DUI that only an experienced attorney would know. Many DUI's are thrown out because of technicalities. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: DUI - Lawyer

It is highly unrecommended that you try to fight a DUI by yourself. There are items that only an attorney can sucessfully accomplish for you such as a reduction on your charge, community service, AA meetings, etc. It also depends on whether or not this is your first DUI, if you have any other type of priors, probation violation, etc. It also depends on how conservative the jurisdiction is. Contact our office at 310/277-1707 to get any clarification on this matter.
