The Importance of Choosing the Right Felony DUI Defense Strategy

When facing felony DUI charges, the defense strategy you choose can significantly impact the outcome of your case. At The Law Office of David E. Grande, we recognize that every situation is unique, and we tailor our approach to fit your specific circumstances. Understanding the nuances of DUI laws and the various defenses available is crucial for mounting an effective defense.

Here are some common defense strategies that may be applicable to your case:

  • Challenging the Traffic Stop: If the initial stop was not justified, evidence gathered during the stop may be inadmissible in court.
  • Questioning the Breathalyzer Results: Breath tests can be inaccurate due to various factors, including equipment malfunction or improper administration.
  • Establishing Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions can affect blood alcohol content readings and may be used as a defense.
  • Proving Lack of Intent: Demonstrating that you did not intend to drive or were not in control of the vehicle can be a strong defense.

Our experienced Temecula DUI attorneys will work diligently to identify the most effective strategy for your case, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you receive the best possible representation. Don’t leave your future to chance; contact us today to discuss your options.
