DUI Attorneys Los Angeles

There are ways to minimize your risk of being convicted of a DWI/DUI, driving under the influence or drunk driving in the state of California. The best tip of course is to not drink and drive, that avoids a DUI conviction altogether. You can purchase a portable breath test machine and have it installed in your vehicle so that you have to blow before your car will start so if you are over the limit you are unable to drive. However, the way that the laws in California are going even if you have a small amount of alcohol in your system, not enough to cause impairment, it is the smell of it on you that increases your chances exponentially of being arrested. Being arrested for a DWI or DUI in the state of California does not automatically result in the loss of your driver’s license or a conviction. If you are arrested contact the services of DUI attorneys Los Angeles.

Below are a few tips to keep in mind if you are ever pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving.

· If you are asked questions either before or after your arrest and you politely refuse there will not be any statements that can be used against you in court. It is up to the police officers to build their case against you, it is not up to you to supply them with what they need.

· Always be respectful and polite to the officers. How you are perceived by a judge or jury is critical to the outcome of your case.

· If you are over the age of 21 you can refuse to take the pre-arrest alcohol screening test. This test is completely voluntary and it is your right to refuse.

· Do not use breath freshener or mouthwash to avoid a DUI. Most breath fresheners and mouthwashes contain alcohol so it enhances the odor of alcohol as well as the measured amount of alcohol that the breath machine reads. So what most people think will help them is actually quite the opposite.

· Retain the services of experienced DWI/DUI attorneys Los Angeles to represent you. Only a lawyer with experience in DUI defenses will be able to spot any issues favorable to you and present them to the prosecutor, judge, or jury.

No one wants to find themselves facing a DUI charge but if you are only an experienced DUI attorney can help.
