How Our Downey DUI Lawyers Defend Your Case

A strong defense looks beyond the arrest report. We scrutinize:

• Traffic stop legality (e.g., stops along Lakewood Blvd, Firestone Blvd, or near the Downey Civic Center)
• Field sobriety tests (administration and conditions)
• Breath/Blood testing (calibration, chain of custody, fermentation, rising BAC)
• Body-cam and dash-cam inconsistencies
• Procedural violations (Title 17 compliance, implied consent advisals)

Our goal is to suppress flawed evidence, challenge unreliable testing, and negotiate from strength, while preparing your case for trial if needed.

Protect Your License (DMV Hearing)

After a DUI arrest, deadlines to request a DMV administrative hearing can be short. Contact us promptly so we can seek to stay the suspension and represent you at the DMV while we fight the criminal case.
