Experienced Scientific DUI Defense
Pittsburg, California, DUI Law
To protect against a driver's license suspension and a possible jail sentence, you must prevail at the Department of Motor Vehicle hearing and in Superior Court. It is important to coordinate the resolution of these proceedings to prevent one from negatively influencing the other. Defending against a drunk driving charge is a complicated matter. Attorney Peter Johnson, of the Law Office of Johnson & Johnson is experienced in representing people charged with a DUI in DMV proceedings and in Criminal trials.
Under California law, a driver is driving under the influence if:
- the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle is impaired by the effects of alcohol, illegal drugs, prescribed medications such as painkillers, or even over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines; or
- the driver is intoxicated at a level above established DUI standards, such as blood-alcohol concentration (BAC).
After stopping your vehicle on reasonable suspicion that you are driving under the influence or committing another criminal offense, a police officer may request that you perform field sobriety and chemical tests. Lawyer Peter Johnson will carefully conduct a DUI investigation of the officer's conduct during this period to challenge the allegations being made against you. He will also analyze your BAC test to determine if inaccurate testing procedures were followed or whether other reasons exist for challenging the validity of the tests. These steps are an important part of the DUI defense for your charge.
A DUI case involves defending you during a court process and an administrative DMV hearing. If you act quickly (within 10 days of your arrest), the Law Office of Johnson & Johnson can help you request a DMV hearing to contest your license suspension. We use the latest science and technology to defend you against a driving under the influence charge.
Every year, the California legislature and state courts get tougher on people charged with DUI. A conviction for DUI now carries harsher penalties and remains on your driving record for ten years. This makes it even more important to select an attorney who is on the cutting edge of drunk driving defense.
