A California DUI attorney may challenge whether a breath-testing device was properly maintained, calibrated, and operated according to Title 17 regulations and manufacturer requirements. For blood tests, the attorney can examine whether the sample was collected, stored, preserved, and analyzed correctly, and whether contamination or fermentation could have affected the result. Chain-of-custody challenges focus on whether the prosecution can account for the sample at every stage—from collection to laboratory testing—without gaps, mix-ups, or tampering. Any irregularity may call the reliability and accuracy of the chemical test results into question.

A California DMV hearing is separate from the criminal court case and determines whether your driver's license will be suspended after a DUI arrest. A lawyer can challenge the legality of the traffic stop and arrest, question the officer under oath, subpoena records and witnesses, and contest the accuracy of breath or blood test results. The attorney may present evidence, make legal arguments, and seek to prevent or delay a license suspension. Because the hearing can affect your driving privileges, having an attorney often provides opportunities to obtain evidence and testimony that may also help the court case.

California DUI attorneys commonly challenge the legality of the traffic stop, the basis for the arrest, and the accuracy of chemical tests. They may attack breath or blood test results by examining calibration records, maintenance logs, chain of custody issues, contamination, fermentation, or laboratory errors. Attorneys also scrutinize field sobriety tests, officer observations, body camera footage, and medical conditions that could mimic impairment. In some cases, they negotiate for reduced charges or seek suppression of evidence obtained in violation of constitutional rights. Every case is different, and a successful defense depends on the specific facts and evidence involved

In California, a wet reckless is generally a reduced charge negotiated from a DUI. While both offenses involve alcohol-related driving conduct, a wet reckless is not the same as a DUI conviction and usually carries lower fines, shorter education programs, and less severe consequences. However, a wet reckless still counts as a prior alcohol-related offense if a person is arrested for another DUI within ten years. A DUI conviction typically results in harsher penalties, including greater fines, longer DUI classes, possible license suspension, and increased insurance costs. Eligibility for a wet reckless depends on the facts of the case and prosecutor discretion.
