DUI Arrests
A driver may be arrested for DUI if a police officer observes that he or she is driving in an erratic manner. Running a red light, speeding, driving too slowly or weaving in and out of one's lane are all examples of driving behavior that may lead to a driver being pulled over and then arrested for driving under the influence.

Breathalyzers & BAC
The breath test, or breathalyzer, is typically the most important piece of evidence in a Ventura DUI case. A breathalyzer is a device that is used to determine a driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) after he or she is arrested for DUI. If the driver's BAC is at or above .08%, he or she may be charged with DUI. Click here to read more about breathalyzers and BAC.
DMV Hearings
The DMV hearing is one of the key parts of DUI proceedings. Separate from the criminal court case, the DMV hearing is held in regard to the administrative suspension of the driver's license after he or she failed or refused a breath/blood test after a lawful drunk driving arrest. We offer experienced representation at these hearings and in criminal court. Click here to read more about DMV hearings.
