Defenses against San Diego Commercial DUI

As in private vehicle DUI defense, there are two actions involved in defending against CDL DUI, a DMV hearing and a criminal court hearing. Mr. Dicks defends clients in both. Though the procedures are different the defenses in both are much the same. Did the police officer make an illegal stop? Where the officer does not have probable cause to believe the commercial driver had committed an offense, the police officer cannot legally pull the commercial driver over. Any evidence then obtained is inadmissible. Mr. Dicks uses his recognized cross-examination skills to expose these violations.

The other defenses relate to alcohol screening tests used to prove DUI. These include field sobriety tests, breath tests, blood tests and urine tests. Each test has a prescribed set of procedures. If the police violate these procedures, the results are invalid. After years of practice, our attorney is intimately familiar with these procedures and quick to spot police missteps. Clients find service at the firm personalized and respectful. They are also pleased at the relentless defense they receive. You are invited to contact the firm for a free initial consultation.
