North Hollywood DUI

A Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney is vital whenever someone is charged with any DUI, whether a felony or misdemeanor.  A man is accused of drunk driving and crashing his vehicle into an LAPD patrol car in North Hollywood which injured two players.  He was charged with a North Hollywood DUI and driving on a suspended license.  There was no comment from any Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney involved with the case.

The individual allegedly had a blood alcohol content of .15, almost twice the legal limit of .08.  He made an illegal U-turn on Lankershim Blvd. and collided with a police cruiser according to prosecutors.  This collision made the police cruiser strike another vehicle and also caused the two LAPD officers in the car to sustain injuries, including one officer's broken nose.  These injuries, coupled with the blood alcohol content of the driver led to DUI charges for driving with a .08  blood alcohol contentcausing an injury and a misdemeanor count of driving on a suspend license. 

When the police try to figure out a driver's blood alcohol content, they usually use a breathalyzer test.  At times, they might do a blood test, but the breath test is simpler and can be used at the scene of the alleged crime.  Even though breath tests are known to be unreliable, and even though drivers of different weights can handle differing levels of  blood alcohol content, this is what the police use to convict drivers of DUI.

A skilled Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney will know how to properly defend such charges, and will be able to expose any mistakes the police may have made in figuring out a person's blood alcohol content.  If your or someone you love has been charged a Los Angeles DUI based upon blood alcohol content, contact the Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorneys at Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin.  Call today at 877-781-1570.
