Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?
As a licensed driver in California, you’ve already given what’s known as implied consent — meaning that if a police officer has probable cause to believe you’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you’re expected to comply with certain tests. These may include field sobriety tests like standing on one leg, walking a straight line, or reciting the alphabet, as well as chemical tests like a breathalyzer.
You do have the right to refuse testing, but doing so often results in an immediate suspension of your driver’s license — even before any court proceedings. If you’ve refused a test, David Simon may still be able to step in and challenge the circumstances surrounding your stop or arrest.
If you’ve already submitted to testing, there are still ways to fight back. Breathalyzers and chemical tests aren’t always reliable — results can be thrown off by improper calibration, operator error, weather conditions, or even certain medical issues. These details matter, and they can make a real difference in how your case plays out. Don’t assume your case is open and shut. Reach out to Law Offices of David A. Simon to discuss what happened and explore your legal options.
Is It Possible to Get Past DUI Convictions Expunged or Sealed?
Depending on the circumstances of your case and how the conviction was handled under California law, it may be possible to have your DUI record sealed or expunged. If you qualify, it’s often worth the effort to petition the court — clearing your record can make a meaningful difference when it comes to job applications, housing, or background checks.
In California, an expungement doesn’t erase your conviction entirely, but it can remove it from public view and prevent most private employers from using it against you. Sealing a record can offer similar protections, depending on the situation.
If you have a prior DUI conviction and want to know whether record clearance is an option, David Simon can review your case and guide you through the process. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.
