Northern California DUI Defense Lawyer
The impact of science and technology on DUI defense has altered what an attorney must know. To obtain the knowledge necessary to defend you against a DUI charge requires substantial training. Pittsburg, California, attorney Peter Johnson of The Law Offices of Johnson & Johnson is a highly trained member of the National College of DUI Defense and the California DUI Lawyers Association.
Just because you have failed a breath, blood, or urine test does not mean your case is without hope. There are certain scientific techniques to challenge your BAC test results. Trained in the operation and design of the technology used to test your BAC, attorney Peter Johnson defends people facing these serious charges.
Some of the commonly analyzed testing errors involve:
- Machine margins of error
- Breath temperature and volume abnormalities
- Calibration errors
- Gastric reflux and dental issues
- Blood or urine storage issues
- Improper testing procedures
- Failure to comply with the fifteen-minute observation requirements
Implied Consent
Under California law, you gave your implied consent to submit to a BAC test when issued your driving privileges. If stopped, you need only submit to an official breath or blood test, not to field sobriety and other preliminary tests. Police officers in the field must inform you about your right not to submit to preliminary breath tests. The frequent failure to comply with this requirement by California law enforcement officials demonstrates the need for an experienced lawyer to stand up for your rights. At the Law Office of Johnson & Johnson, we will examine police procedures to challenge the allegations being made against you whether it is a first, second, or greater offense, and whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony.
