Unlike other criminal matters, a DUI charge pending in court requires collateral administrative proceedings with the DMV, known as a DMV hearing.

Driving under the influence DUI charges, in violation of Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) and 23152(b), are typically prosecuted when your Blood sample tests .08% or greater for alcohol concentration in the police forensic laboratory. The chemical testing of you blood must be done in an accurate manner for the evidence to be credibly introduced in court.
Breath-Test Evidence: Los Angeles DUI Defense Laws: To measure the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) law enforcement often uses a breath test machine. There are two types of breath tests: a portable breath test machine, known as the PAS (Preliminary Alcohol Screening Device), used during the traffic stop and a state-approved Breathalyzer machine used at the station. Our Los Angeles DUI Defense Law Firm has the experience to successfully defend you against serious DUI charges. Driving Under the Influence of Controlled Substances: Drugs, Prescriptions, Medications, Alcohol use consumption of drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, MDMA Ecstasy, methamphetamine or even prescription medications such as Xanax or Benzodiazapem, may result in a DUI conviction. Importantly, even the presence of lawful prescription medications in your system may lead to a DUI arrest if the officers conclude that you were unsafe on the road. For someone with a prior DUI conviction within the last ten years, the consequences are ever more severe in court and with the DMV.
