How to Beat Your DUI in Los Angeles County – 4 Tips

Your fun night out took a turn for the worse, when you were pulled over for drunk driving in Los Angeles County. If you have been accused of driving under the influence (DUI), don’t sit back and take your situation lightly. You need to make sure your rights, and really your future, are fully protected. In short, you need to know how to beat your DUI charge.

4 Ways to Beat Your DUI in Los Angeles County

Even though DUIs are relatively common in California, you can’t afford to not take action. Below are four ways you may be able to beat your DUI allegation:

1. Try to remember if you were read your Miranda rights when you were in custody and interrogated. You have probably heard them even before your alleged DUI – “you have the right to remain silent...” Most crime shows and movies will include the proclamation of Miranda rights. If you were not told your Miranda rights after being placed in police custody and interrogated, you may be able to beat your DUI in Los Angeles County.
2. Provide other reasons for your blood alcohol content (BAC) level. Breathalyzers sometimes fail, medical conditions can affect the readings and other factors can also skew results. Think about factors that could have affected your BAC results.
3. Dispute the results of the field sobriety test. Field sobriety tests are not foolproof and can be misleading. These tests do not always provide accurate results, so don’t be afraid to challenge them.
4. Hire an experienced Torrance DUI lawyer. A DUI conviction will go on your criminal record. If you didn’t have a record before, you will have one once you are found guilty. A criminal record can affect your employment, and ultimately your future. Make sure you do everything possible to defend yourself and that means hiring a Torrance DUI lawyer.
