DUI and Drugs

Fremont DUI Attorney

If you have been charged with a DUI involving drugs in Fremont, Union City, or Newark, California, you should consult with a capable Fremont DUI lawyer about your case immediately. Driving while under the influence of drugs is a violation of the California Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a). The drugs involved in the DUI charge may be legal, such as prescribed medications or illegal, such as marijuana, cocaine, or some other narcotic. The issue is not the type of drugs but their impairment of your driving ability which endangers other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. At our law firm, our Fremont DUI attorney Adam Allen Arant has successfully defended all types of DUI cases in the area, including those involving drugs. Adam can begin investigating and reviewing your case immediately to find weaknesses and flaws with which he can attack the prosecution.

While alcohol can be measured with a breath test, the presence of drugs in your system can only be determined through a blood or urine test. The results of these tests, along with the arresting officer's report, will be the basis of the case against you. Many factors may be explored in a defense of this type of case. The arresting officer may have had little or no training on how drugs may manifest as objective signs in a person who has consumed them. The blood or urine tests can be challenged in how they were administered, whether contamination was a factor, or how they held up as evidence required by law. Questions can be raised as to why you were stopped in the first place, whether any drugs were found in your vehicle or on you, and what constitutional reason the arresting officer had in searching you or your car.

As a Fremont DUI lawyer, Adam can analyze all the factors surrounding your DUI arrest to break down the case and create a strong defense on your behalf. Because you may be facing drug charges as well as a DUI, it is best to have your case handled by a skilled attorney who knows how best to defend you on all counts.
