The Law Offices of Justin E. Sterling specializes in misdemeanor and felony DUI. Los Angeles DUI Attorney, Justin E. Sterling has years of experience in defending against driving under the influence cases. He has defended literally thousands of them.

DUI law is a separate and distinct practice area due to the scientific nature of these types of cases. Effective representation on a DUI case requires an in-depth understanding of both science and law. The substantive and procedural aspects of DUI litigation have grown immeasurably more complex over the years. As methods of analysis become more complex, the possibilities for error grow. The highest level of DUI representation also includes understanding certain consequences the DMV may impose.

Issues such as whether the police followed certain guidelines during their investigation, as well as the accuracy of any machines used in a particular investigation can dramatically impact a DUI case. It is critical to hire an attorney who is a specialist in this highly concentrated area of the law.

The Law Offices of Justin E. Sterling takes affirmative steps in defending its clients on a DUI matter. These steps include but are not limited to the following:

we independently test all blood/urine results; breathalyzer maintenance and calibration records are thoroughly investigated;
we routinely consult with various experts in order to establish potential scientific defenses; the findings of an expert can be helpful in negotiating favorable plea-deals or may be useful in providing testimony at trial;
we coordinate with the DMV to protect our client’s driver’s license; our services include complete representation in all DMV proceedings;
we take proactive steps to provide our clients with substance abuse treatment which may demonstrate to the court and prosecutor a willingness to address the issues at hand;
as a general course of practice, we author, file, and argue specific motions relating to legal issues in a particular case; the most common issue that arises in a DUI case is whether the police had probable cause to initially stop a vehicle; a successfully argued motion on this issue can result in all charges being dropped.

 

Whether it’s a first-time DUI or felony DUI which has tragically resulted in the death of another, our firm is prepared to handle every aspect of your case.
