DUI/Drunk Driving

Effective Defense of DUI Charges

California is serious about prosecuting people for driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol. Without proper representation, even a first-time offender can end up in jail.

Conviction for a DUI can result in fines, license suspension, points on your driving record, skyrocketing insurance rates, participation in driver school, probation and incarceration. The mark on your record may also cause you to lose your professional license or prevent you from getting a job, a loan or an education.

We Fight DUI Charges

Don't take a DUI lightly. If you have been charged with DUI/drunk driving, contact the criminal defense attorneys of Hanson, Hales, Gorian & Bradford. Our criminal defense lawyers have successfully represented clients in DUI cases since 1996. We have the knowledge and experience required to help you, too.

We will listen carefully as you describe the facts of the case, and then move quickly to protect your rights and interests. We will not only defend you in criminal court, but we will also fight your license suspension in a DMV administrative hearing. In some cases, we are able to get our clients a restricted license, so they can go to work or school.

There are many approaches to defending clients charged with DUI. We will explore all that are applicable to your case. For example:

  • Did the officer have probable cause to stop your car?
  • Did the officer read you your Miranda rights?
  • Was he or she properly trained in administering the breathalyzer test?
  • Was the breathalyzer unit properly calibrated and in working order?
  • Were the field sobriety tests properly administered?
  • Was there a lapse of time between the administration of a B.A.C. test and the arrest?
