Expert DUI Defense in Kern County

A DUI conviction can result in jail time, heavy fines, license suspension, increased insurance rates, and a permanent criminal record. It can affect your employment, professional licenses, and even your ability to travel.

I understand the science behind breathalyzers, blood tests, and field sobriety tests. I know how to challenge the evidence and find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. From questioning the legality of the traffic stop to challenging the accuracy of chemical tests, I explore every avenue of defense.

With over 500 cases handled in Kern County courts, I have the local knowledge and experience to navigate the DMV administrative process and the criminal court system simultaneously.

I thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, interview witnesses, review video evidence, and build a compelling defense strategy. In many cases, I can demonstrate that you acted in self-defense or that the alleged victim’s claims are exaggerated or false.

California law recognizes your right to defend yourself and others. If you were protecting yourself or someone else from harm, I’ll make sure that’s heard and understood by the court.

Challenging the Traffic Stop

Police must have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle. If the stop was illegal, the evidence obtained afterward may be challenged or suppressed in court.

Questioning Test Accuracy

Breathalyzers and blood tests must be properly calibrated, maintained, and administered. I challenge improper testing procedures and equipment failures.

Medical Conditions & Rising BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration)

Certain medical conditions can affect test results. Additionally, your BAC may have been below the legal limit while driving but rose by the time of testing.

Procedural Violations

Law enforcement must follow strict procedures during DUI arrests. Any violation of your rights or protocol can be grounds for case dismissal or evidence suppression.
