Have you seen those dreaded red, white, and blue cop car lights behind your car recently? Were you pulled over and charged with DUI, even though you have a valid prescription for marijuana and/or prescription drugs? It can be hard to know what to do and who to turn to when this happens because it’s an incredibly stressful situation. It can be difficult to even think straight.
Act Now
The number 1 best thing you can do is call expert DUI criminal defense attorney Dan Chambers of the Chambers Law Firm. You can schedule a free consultation by calling 714-760-4088, emailing dchambers@clfca.com, or by clicking CONTACT in the menu above to send an online message.
Avoid getting your license suspended
For DUI charges, acting quickly is absolutely essential because if you don’t contact Dan Chambers to petition for a DMV hearing about the suspension of your license within 10 days, it will automatically be suspended. If you don’t have a hearing, you won’t have an opportunity to have your side of the story fairly presented, and your license and driving privileges will be revoked.
Possible defense strategies
If you have a valid prescription for marijuana and/or prescription drugs, Dan Chambers may be able to get the case against you completely dismissed or secure a reduction of the charges. This is important because a felony could be reduced to a misdemeanor, prison time could be deleted from the penalties of conviction, and fines could be lessened. The evidence of your valid prescription will provide a strong basis for your defense, but it won’t be enough to completely combat the charges against you.
Subjective investigation techniques
This is because when you were pulled over by the police officer, he or she conducted an investigation during those few minutes spent with you before placing you under arrest. The officer took into consideration your driving pattern, any statements you made at any time, how you looked and smelled, your eye movements, and your behavior.
If this sounds incredibly subjective, that’s because it is. There are no DUI laws currently on the books in California that state that you may not drive if you have a certain level of THC or other chemicals in your system, so the police have no objective way of judging whether someone is driving while intoxicated.
Reasonable doubt
That means that a tenacious DUI attorney like Dan Chambers may be able to convince the judge deciding your case that the factors that lead the police to issue a DUI citation don’t, in reality, unequivocally prove intoxication. As long as the judge has a reasonable measure of doubt as to the officer’s conclusions, he or she won’t convict you.
Contact Dan Chambers ASAP
So bottom line, if you’ve been arrested for DUI, whether you had alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, or anything else in your system, you need Southern California’s top DUI defense attorney on your side. Call Dan Chambers of the Chambers Law Firm to schedule a complimentary initial appointment today.
