There are multiple aspects in a drunk driving case that must be addressed, handled, and resolved by an attorney who truly understands California DUI law. Many people contemplate whether or not they should defend themselves against their DUI charges. It is never advisable for any person to handle their DUI case without the assistance of an experienced DUI lawyer. It requires extensive experience and a deep understanding of the law, breath and blood tests, field sobriety tests and all other issues relevant exclusively to these cases to successfully challenge the powerful state prosecutors looking to put you in jail. The San Diego DUI defense lawyers at the firm have years of experience handling cases of this nature and have the knowledge, skill, and resources that are essential for a successful outcome.

Field Sobriety Tests
In any DUI case, the results of the field sobriety test or the breath or blood test are crucial parts of the evidence against you. This being said, if it can be proven that a mistake was made in your test or that the results are inaccurate, your case could be dismissed entirely. There are three main standardized field sobriety tests used by law enforcement officers. These test the individual's balance, concentration, and functionality in an attempt to see if they are under the influence of alcohol. The walk and turn test requires the driver to walk along a straight line heel-to-toe while counting out loud. In, the one leg stand test, the individual's balance is tested while they count out loud. Lastly, the horizontal gaze nystagmus looks for involuntary jerking in the eye. However, this can happen to people that have suffered from strokes or seizures. Read more on field sobriety tests.
