When the Charge is a Dui –the Steps You Need to Take

It’s a Friday night, you’ve worked hard all week and stop to meet friends for drinks and dinner, sure seems like a good idea to wash away some of the weeks problems and it is once you are there.

Sounds like a great idea, you have a real good time talking with friends, eating good food and having several drinks. When you are ready to leave after an enjoyable night you feel more relaxed than you have all week.

On the drive home the California Highway Patrol are behind your vehicle, nothing unusual about that until their lights go on and you are being pulled over. The driving offense you have committed is driving under the influence in West L.A., your given a field sobriety test and then arrested. After which you are asked to submit to a chemical test, this can be a blood, breath or urine test that will give the content of alcohol in your bloodstream. When this is found it will tell the court how far over the legal limit you were while operating a motor vehicle and that may affect what type of sentence they impose.

This is when you know you will need a good attorney, one who knows the laws about driving under the influence offenses. This attorney should know the different consequences that can affect the rest of a person charged with driving under the influence, they should know what steps to take when it comes to a DMV hearing and they need to be informed about all the reasons why some of these chemical tests that are given are not always accurate.

A skilled DUI attorney in Los Angeles can tell you that the chemical tests that are given such as a breath test are not accurate because they may not be calibrated correctly, they may not be read correctly and there are other circumstances that can make this test read higher than it should. There are also other factors that can make these tests read incorrectly and only an attorney who has educated themselves will understand this and use what they know when they are preparing a driving under the influence case.

For a few hours out with friends you are facing losing your drivers license, being faced with fines, classes, community service and possibly losing your driving privilege, it could even result in the loss of your employment. This is why you need the most skilled DUI attorney to represent you in court and with DMV.
