DUI Defense Lawyer in San Francisco

If you are convicted of a DUI offense, you will be facing serious repercussions including the loss of your driver's license, increased insurance payments, fines, fees, time in jail, community service and treatment programs.  In fact, there are many who are arrested and charged with this offense who had not exhibited any driving behavior that would lead to suspecting a DUI driver.  An arrest can result from a roadside sobriety checkpoint, or in other cases your rights could have been violated with regard to "probable cause".  This is a subjective matter that rests on the observation of the police officer involved, and a cross-examination of the officer involved can lead to exposing the case of failure to follow the correct procedures in DUI cases.  There have been countless cases in which the "probable cause" was questionable or even false. 

It is recommended that you do not answer questions if you are pulled over by law enforcement, other than providing them with the information that they have a right to ask for, such as driver's license, registration and insurance.  For example, if you are asked "have you been drinking?" you do not have to answer this question.  Doing so can lead to further difficulties.  The accusation of "smell of alcohol" or "bloodshot eyes" is far too common when the accused individual actually was acting normally.  Other cases include "weaving while driving" and it may be that a road hazard caused you to weave or other mitigating factor that can be identified and brought to court to defend you.   In cases of alcohol testing methods, investigating the history of the device used in the testing or the actual procedures used can lead to exposing the doubt of DUI and a "not guilty" verdict or dismissed charge for the client.

No matter how serious your case may appear, seeking experienced legal representation can assist you in sorting out the matter and lead to a better outcome on any DUI offense.
