During the days of Friday, December 11th and Saturday, December 12th there will be a Los Angeles sobriety checkpoint in both Carson and Rancho Palos Verdes.  In Carson, Sheriff's deputies will conduct a driver's license and  Los Angeles sobriety checkpoint from 7:00 pm Friday night until 3:00 am Saturday morning at a site yet to be determined.  In Rancho Palos Verdia, Deputies will be conducting a  Los Angeles sobriety checkpoint on Saturday at Western Avenenue and Redondela Drive as well as on Thursday at Hawthorne Boulevard at Granvia Altamira.  Both of those Los Angelels sobriety checkpoints will begin at 7:00 pm.

A Los Angeles sobriety checkpoint must abide by certain rules, otherwise they are illegal.  At Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, our Southern California DUI Defense Lawyers are very familiar with how field sobriety testing is used by Los Angeles law enforcement officers to determine whether a person is driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. For example, the police must post any future  Los Angeles sobriety checkpionts in advance and do them in a location that has an alternative route. 

The Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys at Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin have actually litigated countless DUI cases successfully which involved field sobriety tests.  Los Angeles sobriety checkpoints can be highly controversial, and our skilled Los Angeles attorney team will know how to exploit every issue to your advantage.

If you or someone you love  has been arrested for DUI at a Los Angeles sobriety checkpoint, contact the Los Angeles DUI defense team at Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin today at 818-781-1570.  Our DUI lawyers understand that field sobriety tests are often inaccurate. Some people may not be able to pass a test even when entirely sober, due to a physical condition, the condition of the road's surface, the type of shoes being worn, and/or simply a lack of coordination or balance. Our skilled attorneys will use any instance of fault or inaccuracy in your DUI arrest to defend your rights and help to keep you out of jail.
