The abuse of alcohol and/or drugs has the ability to impair your judgment when ingested at certain rates and volumes. Driving an automobile or operating machinery of any kind while under the influence is incredibly dangerous, not only to the driver but to other people who may cross his or her path. Every year, countless unnecessary deaths occur as a result of collisions with drivers whose judgment was impaired by alcohol consumption. If you are suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, under the laws of the state of California, an officer can legally require you to take a breathalyzer, blood or urine test. It is within your rights to refuse such testing, yet if you are found guilty, driver license suspension and revocation will be extended. Knowing your rights is essential, and aligning yourself with a skilled and successful DUI/DWI attorney will be to your benefit. The attorneys at Sevens Legal, APC of San Diego draw on over 40 years of combined expertise in the field of criminal defense and will aggressively represent your DUI/DWI case in court.
