A Sacramento DUI Attorney Talks Counsel's Duties in a DUI Case

Symbol of law Attorneys obtain many reports and information when defending a person who has been accused of driving under the influence. A Sacramento DUI attorney can tell you counsel should obtain any reports, including those of other accidents that occurred at the same location as yours and any submitted by those who may have reconstructed the accident.

Serious cases may require attorneys to consult someone who reconstructs accidents. These reports may show that driving conditions, and not your driving, caused the accident. Attorneys also should gather prior police reports by the arresting officer. Sometimes, police write the same observations in every DUI report they write. This diminishes an officer’s credibility.

A Sacramento DUI lawyer also can explain police reports provide them information about what your arresting officer may think is important. For example, in previous cases, the officer may have asked other motorists if they had slept the night before but didn’t ask you. Attorneys can point out that police may have looked at your field sobriety test results differently if officers had known you only slept four hours the night before.

Information Related to the Accused

Your counsel also should collect your criminal history and those of any witnesses. Your driving record is important, too, because it may impact a possible plea bargain. Conviction, of even a lesser charge, could result in driving points that leave you with a suspended license. The person representing you may be able to resolve your case without adding any points to your record.

“Param was excellent in my court case of failure to stop at a stop sign. The officer could not see clearly because he was too far away. The officer insisted he could and said he had video but could not produce it at the trial. The officer then asked if he could suspend the trial to go get the video but the judge said he should have had plenty of time to get the video ready beforehand. Needless to say, the judge ruled in my favor and dismissed the case which enraged the officer. Pabla Param’s defense and cross examination skills were excellent and paramount in having the case dismissed. Highly recommended.” T.C.

“My husband and I needed to update everything -family trust, will, medical stuff. Param was really patient -answering all my questions -even when I asked them twice. He wanted to be sure I understood everything we were doing. All docs were sent to us so we could go through them on our own time before anything was finalized. I also liked when we were looking at medical stuff that he had a conversation with me about what I wanted and pointed out some things I didn’t think of.” Debbie
