Now You May Wonder…
…What if I Failed a Drug Test? Can a Drug DUI Attorney in Santa Ana CA Still Help Me?
Yes. You should never assume your case is hopeless just because you failed a drug test. As your drug DUI attorney in Santa Ana CA, we can always find some way to help you. Just because you failed a drug test does not necessarily mean you will be found guilty of DUI of drugs. The law requires prosecutors to prove that your driving ability was actually impaired by the drug. Drug tests are not very useful for this purpose because they cannot prove how the drug affected your body. In order to determine whether or not a drug test really shows impairment, we must consider:
- Your metabolism
- The type of drug you took
- The dosage or amount of drug
- When you took the drug
- How long you’ve been using the drug
If necessary, we can consult a forensic toxicologist to discuss the impact of the drug on your system and whether you were impaired at the time you were driving.
