A San Diego DUI can happen to anybody. Passed out and parked in balboa park…..Paramedics found her. She likely made no statements. I have to say I do not see anything materializing from this. Read for yourself.
It is important to discuss the circumstances that led to your arrest with an experienced NHTSA trained attorney. The officer likely relied on the performance of the tests when arresting, so it only makes sense to closely examine whether the test was done properly. Were the proper instructions given? Was all other factors considered? This is just one part of a proactive and through defense. Read on…
Driving.. it is one of the two elements in a San Diego DUI. As a former Deputy District Attorney I can tell you these are the toughest cases for prosecutors in San Diego DUI. Why? Because it does not matter if the person is drinking or what blood alcohol level they are…..because they were not driving. Read On…

it is vital that one of your initial questions to ask a client facing a San Diego DUI is whether they have had a traffic violation in the last 12 months. If so, I let them know a San Diego DUI conviction has yet another risk. That risk is getting 4 points in one year and your license will be suspended. Read on….
License suspension is one of the most severe consequences of a San Diego DUI. Since the suspension is through the DMV (and thus civil), someone going through a Public Defender will not have an attorney navigate them through the process. Read on…

Public health advocates and concerned citizens have been fighting to reduce the rates of drunk driving for decades, but texting, app use and other smartphone activities are a relatively new phenomenon and their effects aren’t yet fully understood by the public. Read on….
A San Diego DUI attorney must represent their client dealing with two separate entities…..the criminal court system and the California DMV.

There is no doubt checkpoints and saturation patrols unearth impaired drivers. However, it does come with a price (read below). For example, I have heard officer Zirpolo in court basically say that he considers most people are likely impaired when they see them driving in the early morning hours in Pacific Beach. Now, there is no doubt some truth to that. However, what does this mean? This means that if you are sober and it is Sat night and you are trying to find parking in Pacific beach. Drive a little slow while finding a parking spot, or drive just a tad off....and you will have lights behind you. It is something to think about when a good theory comes out in its practice.

These small details make the difference in San Diego DUI cases. Read on…

"People like to celebrate, have a good time, and alcohol's often a part of that," Dokosaid.
