Why Hire an Attorney for a DUI?
Are you facing a DUI?
In this YouTube video, San Diego DUI and criminal defense attorney David P. Shapiro discusses why it’s essential to hire an attorney to defend against a DUI charge, even one where the police say you had a high blood alcohol content (BAC), maybe two or three times the legal limit. While it may appear to you that there is no hope of avoiding a conviction, there are defenses that may apply, including an illegal blood draw, an illegal stop, and others. Successfully establishing one of these defenses could significantly increase the chance of a dismissal. Even if the case appears doomed, an experienced DUI lawyer will be able to negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf.
