Orange County DUI Defense Attorneys

Driving Under the Influence Lawyers in Orange County, California

There are a multitude of ways an Orange County DUI defense lawyer can attack the prosecution’s case and evidence in a driving under the influence case. Breathalyzer tests, field sobriety tests and other means that law enforcement use to make an Orange County DUI arrest are all subject to discrimination. These tests are not entirely accurate, and an officer’s personal observation of an individual’s intoxication level can easily be entirely incorrect.

Experience has enabled the Orange County DUI lawyers and attorneys at Gold & Witham to be effective in analyzing a client’s DUI charges – finding that mistake made by law enforcement, a health condition of the driver, or other variable which will turn the case around to the defendant’s favor. When an Orange County DUI attorney at our firm takes on a case, we do everything we can to familiarize ourselves with every aspect of the arrest, of the client’s physical condition at the time of the arrest, the officer’s behavior, police reports, witness testimony, blood alcohol concentration evidence, and much more.

By gathering all the information and reviewing it with a microscope, so to speak, our experienced Orange County DUI defense attorneys will find that factor or those factors which we can use in defending the case.

DUI Defense in Orange County

Some possible arguments an Orange County DUI defense lawyer may use include the following (there are many more – we have simply included a few examples):

• The officer did not have probable cause to pull the driver over in the first place.,
• Field sobriety tests were administered improperly; the officer was not trained on how to deliver and score these tests properly.
• The conditions for field sobriety tests were poor (uneven road, driver was wearing high heels, it was raining, etc.)
• The driver has acid reflux disease or heartburn which led to a high blood alcohol concentration reading after a breathalyzer test.
• The alleged signs of intoxication the officer observed were actually signs of fatigue.
• The officer did not properly observe the driver for 15 minutes before the breath test was administered (in order to watch for regurgitation, burps, or the driver consuming food or drink, which would all alter the test results.)
