Matthew Ruff Wins LAPD DUI Case

🔍 The Case Details

Our client was facing an Administrative Per Se (APS) license suspension following a DUI arrest by the LAPD in downtown Los Angeles. The chemical test reported a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .10%—above the California legal limit. When the stakes are this high, attention to detail is everything.

During the hearing on March 16, 2026, at the El Segundo DMV Office, Matthew Ruff identified critical errors made by law enforcement that completely dismantled the DMV’s case (as documented in image.png):  

Major Procedural Defects: The officer's sworn statement (DS367) contained conflicting dates, showing an arrest date of 12/25/2025 but supplemental reports dated 12/28/2025.

The Winning Legal Argument: Attorney Matthew Ruff fiercely argued that an officer cannot legally swear to the truth of facts that had not yet occurred at the time of signing, citing the landmark case MacDonald v. Gutierrez (2004).

Inadmissible Evidence: Due to a completely blank narrative section and the lack of accurate supplementation, the DMV deemed the officer's report legally insufficient and inadmissible.

🏆 The Ultimate Decision

Because of these crucial legal flaws brought to light by the defense, the DMV issued its official decision on March 24, 2026: The suspension of the Respondent's driving privilege is SET ASIDE!
