I was arrested for DUI and cited to appear in the Kern County Superior Court, can a Mojave DUI Attorney appear for me?  Yes, under 977 of the CA Penal Code allows for a private lawyer to appear and defend a criminal case in Court.  This is a huge plus for people in that they can avoid having to drive hours or even fly back to go to Court in their case.

What are the ways a DUI Attorney in Mojave can get charges dropped or dismissed?  Among the many different strategies is to challenge the basis for arrest.  You see, in California the police officer must have probable cause in order to make an arrest for driving while intoxicated.  Ordinarily the officer would establish this cause by observing certain cues or “clues” they are trained to detect during the initial stop and investigation.  The problem sometimes arises that some officers do not follow the standardized methods of detection and when this occurs a lawyer can challenge the sufficiency of the evidence by showing protocol was not followed and the officer deviated from his training.  The legal procedure used is to file a motion pursuant to Penal Code 1538.5 which is a legal vehicle to request the arrest be declared unconstitutional and therefore a dismissal of the case is warranted.

If the Officer took your driver’s license Matt can stop the suspension and get your license back!  Matthew has won hundreds of DMV hearings relating to DUI and other driving matters, the image above is a set aside Matthew obtained on behalf of even though the client had a .17 BAC level.  If you are facing a DMV suspension for a driving under the influence incident contact us immediately, the law only gives you 10 days to demand a hearing otherwise the suspension becomes final.   One of the more common issues that arise from drunk driving incidents in the Mojave Desert is the issue of the 3 hour presumption rule.  This rule requires that the DMV prove the driving occurred within three hours of the time of the breath or blood test in order to make the results admissible at the hearing.  The problem that occurs is that since the area is geographically vast and if an accident takes place it could take longer than 3 hours for CHP to arrive, make an arrest and thereafter test the person for BAC.  Our Firm has won many cases arguing that the Department has not proved the rule was complied with.

DUI Drug Cases are Winnable 

Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) are common cases in California now that marijuana has been legalized.  The CHP will arrest drivers that display symptoms of drug impairment, but these case are very defendable, here’s why:

Drug impairment can very easily be confused with medical conditions, officers are trained that there are many medical conditions, emotions and feelings that will cause a sober driver to display signs and symptoms of drug intoxication.  Moreover, the toxicology doesn’t mean much.  Toxicology tests for drug impairment has limitations and cannot be used to reliably determine levels of drug impairment at the time of driving.

I was arrested for a DWI near Tehachapi, can you help?

 Yes, our team of Kern County Defense Lawyers are very knowledgeable about the area surrounding Tehachapi, including Bear Valley Springs.  These cases go to the Mojave Superior Court and are prosecuted by the District Attorney.  Most of these arrests involve the CHP and Sheriff’s Department.  It is not uncommon for the officers to use a portable evidential breath machine that is contained in a small briefcase and is used as both a portable breath testing machine (PAS) and the evidentiary chemical test.  Our lawyers are skilled in attacking the reliability and accuracy of these tests.
