Los Angeles DUI Attorney

DUI Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles, California

In the case of a DUI “per se” a breath test or blood test will be crucial in the prosecuting attorney’s quest to obtain a conviction. In “per se” DUI cases, an individual is charged with driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. In these cases the individual’s driving skill and level of physical/mental impairment are not usually in question. Therefore, breath or blood test results and evidence will have the greatest effect on the outcome of the case.

In building the most effective DUI defense strategy, a Los Angeles defense lawyer will need to have up-to-date knowledge and experience with breath tests and blood tests and their faults. The lawyer will need to be able to review all aspects of chemical testing in order to determine if an error was made or if a test was conducted improperly. Conducting an independent analysis of blood test results is one such way to determine this, along with any video of breath testing or any witness testimony (of the arresting officer, person who administered the test and the defendant).

Breath Tests & Blood Tests in Los Angeles County

A DUI arrestee will have a choice between taking a breath test or a blood test. Urine tests are rarely given, and this is only if drug use is suspected. While a blood test is more accurate than a breath test, both of these methods have many faults and may easily be subject to a mistake on the part of the person administering the test or testing the results. Additionally, a driver’s unique metabolism, body temperature, physical health, diet and gender may all affect a breath test or blood test result.
