Helpful Tips:

Fact #9:
If you are ill or have been in an accident in your DUI or DWI investigation and are taken to the hospital for treatment, you are required to give blood. But there must be a reason to take you to the hospital, not just because the Officer wants you to take a blood test. In California you have the right to choose between a breath or blood test. Always choose breath at the police station; not the hand held breath test in the street unless the Officer tells you that it is the chemical test and not a preliminary test. Now if the Officer suspects that you are under the influence of drugs, the Officer may also require you to take a urine or blood test in addition to the breath test, but the Officer must tell you so, and if that is the case, take it, but never request another test after you have taken the breath test at the police station even if one is offered.

Oakland DUI Lawyer

Arrested in Oakland, California for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs or both? Well, I specialize in DUI defense cases, and as a Lawyer I have been successfully representing people accused of drunk driving for 15 years.

A DUI charged in Oakland is serious. The District Attorneys in Oakland , California vigorously prosecute people charged with DUI. A DUI charge is not to be taken lightly. A DUI conviction will increase your insurance rates, cause you to lose your driving privilege and possibly your job if driving is required, and is permanently on your criminal record. You need a Lawyer with knowledge, skill and experience in the area of DUI defense.

There are many defenses to a DUI charge, while all DUIs are similar, they are different because of the human factor, test results, what you may have told the officers during your arrest, physical illness such as GERD, which many people don’t even know they have, can effect the breath testing machine’s reliability. These are the things that you need a qualified DUI Attorney for; to help investigate your case for possible defenses for you.
