Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney - Protecting Your Rights

Consider the prosecution must prove that you were impaired at the time of driving. To do this you will most likely be asked to submit to a breathalyzer test or field sobriety test, and answer questions about your drinking. However many people are unaware of their rights during a traffic stop: you have the right to refuse to submit to a chemical test or to answer most questions. The refusal to submit to chemical tests may lead to loss of driving privileges for one year or longer depending on your prior convictions. The vast majority of people accused of drunk driving are not "criminals"; but in fact, are ordinary citizens caught in the criminal justice system. A vigorous defense can be mounted challenging the opinion of the police officer and the validity of the tests. Independent witnesses who can attest to the amount of alcohol the accused drank can help discredit the officer's testimony.
