What Are My Rights If I’m Stopped for a DUI in California?

Contact Us

Being stopped for a DUI in California can be intimidating, but understanding your rights is crucial. You have the right to remain silent, the right to refuse field sobriety tests, and the right to request an attorney. However, refusing a breathalyzer test after arrest may lead to penalties. If charged, a DUI lawyer can challenge the evidence, question the validity of the stop, and work to reduce or dismiss the charges. Knowing your rights can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
