Without legal intervention, you may lose your license, your freedom and most like your job and close relationships that you once held dear.

Breath Testing
One of the key factors to consider in any DUI case will be the results of a breath test, if one was administered. The breath test is used to determine the driver's blood alcohol concentration, and if this is found to be above the legal limit (at or higher than .08%) the driver will most likely face criminal charges for DUI. What many drivers in El Cajon and throughout the area do not know is that there are viable ways to challenge the results of a breathalyzer. For example, the test may have been administered improperly. The officer who administered the test may have been poorly trained or untrained. The breath test device itself may have been incorrectly calibrated or negligently maintained. These and various other factors may be looked at by a DUI lawyer who is challenging criminal charges on behalf of a client. With the right approach, the results of a breathalyzer may be excluded from criminal proceedings. Click here to read more about breath testing.

Why You Should Involve a DUI Defense Lawyer

When facing DUI charges, a defendant may wonder whether to represent him or herself or simply work with a public defender to avoid hiring a lawyer. Although the state may offer you a public defender, there are limited circumstances in which you will be eligible to receive this form of representation, and there are also numerous benefits to working with a private attorney. A public defender may not have the time and resources to dedicate to your case and may also be inexperienced. Often, the first time a defendant meets his or her public defender is at the first court appearance. Make sure you have the dedicated representation you need, from an attorney who is experienced and can devise a tailor-made DUI defense strategy that addresses your particular concerns.
