Placentia DUI Lawyers
- Farano, Charles: there is an art to criminal defense: You have to know the law and procedures, and You must have credibility with the judges and prosecutors. You have to be reasonable and a person that people like and can get along with, but not a wimp or a push over. You have to be able to go to trial if you must. When you are about to get into a barroom brawl, if you can work yourself out it gracefully, great. If your back is up against the wall, you better be able “Fight like hell”. You must have that sixth sense about when the time is right to “Grab the deal and run like hell” and when to wait and let the case develop. Part of any trial lawyer is a bet of a “River boat gambler”. “Know when to hold em and when to fold em.”

Mitchell Shapiro:
What are my rights?
-
You have the right to refuse field sobriety tests, as well as breath, blood and urine BAC tests, but if you do your license will be suspended for one year, you won’t be allowed a work permit to drive to and from work, and you may face fines and jail time.
-
You have the right to choose a blood or a breath test. Blood tests are potentially the most reliable.
-
You have the right to be informed that you must either take a blood, breathe or urine test, and what the consequences are if you don’t. If the police officer didn’t tell you that, your rights were violated.
-
You have the right to an attorney.
