Can a DUI charge be successfully Defended?
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012This will be the first in a series of blog entries that will examine various defenses available in DUI cases.
Although not available in every case, and often times defeated by a client’s admission to driving at the time of contact with the Police, an “I wasn’t driving” defense can be successfully asserted in some cases.
I have successfully asserted this defense for clients, although it required a trial before we found ears even willing to listen.
There are risks involved in presenting such a defense. Lindsay Lohan asserted the defense earlier this month to an accusation that she was driving a car (in violation of her probation) that was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway. Regrettably for Lindsay, an assistant that was riding with her at the time of the crash confirmed for the police that it was actually Lindsay driving during a follow up interview.
If you or a loved one have been arrested for driving under the influence, protect yourself to the fullest extent possible, contact San Jose DUI Lawyer Bernard P. Bray at (408) 292-9700 and learn your options before you go to court. It can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
