Automobile DUI - San Diego DUI Lawyer

DUI arrests are most often related to automobiles. Whether you were arrested in a car, passenger van, or a truck owned by your employer, there are very serious consequences for being arrested for an automobile related DUI, including license suspension.

If you are arrested for DUI, contact our San Diego DUI attorneys immediately. Merely being arrested for DUI does not automatically indicate that you will be convicted and punished for a DUI. The average citizen does not know that there are many factors that could cause a DUI case to be dismissed.

Some examples of such factors are as follows:

The officer did not read you your Miranda Rights.
You were stopped without probable cause. (A tip does not necessarily equate to probable cause.)
Your suspicious driving had nothing to do with alcohol. (E.g. fatigue.)
Inaccuracy of field sobriety tests or the officer used a field sobriety test known for its inaccuracy.
The field sobriety test was not properly administered.
The defendant has health ailments such as heartburn that could have elevated BAC levels.

The list could go on and on. An experienced San Diego DUI lawyer will be able to exploit any small error in your case, especially any error made by the arresting police officer.

For instance, oftentimes an arresting officer will claim that he smelled alcohol on your breath. But any high school chemistry teacher will explain to you that alcohol has no smell. The smell from drinking alcoholic beverages at a bar or restaurant comes from the ingredients in the beverage aside from the alcohol. So if you get pulled over after a night of drinking virgin margaritas with your friends, your lawyer will be able to explain this to the judge.

Even if this is your first DUI offense, it is still in your best interest to hire a San Diego DUI lawyer. Contact us today for your immediate consultation.
