A quick story, the other day I was in a DMV hearing and I was cross examining the officer. Some of the highlights made me almost laugh outload. The officer could not identify the 3 SFST. As you read this you probably already know that they are the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), Walk and Turn (WAT), and the One Leg Stand (OLS). As we went through the cross examination the officer could not identify the 3 validating clues in the HGN, he did not know how many clues were needed to believe that my client might have been over a .08. The Officer did not know the 8 clues associated with the WAT, in fact he made up other clues as he went along. I did finally start to smurk as he failed to understand the OLS or the 4 clues associated with that test. Hire a DUI lawyer from the best dui law firm and get the dui facts about the drunk driving myths. 

What was really funny was that 2 weeks after the officer arrested my client he went to a SFST class. This was when my cross really got interesting. As we went through his failures in giving the SFST he had to agree that he gave the SFST wrong on several, several occasions.

I also have over 15 hours of training on the Datamaster DMT breath machine. I am the owner of the Alcosensor IV PAS breath machine which is the most widely used roadside breath tester in So. Cal. 


EXPERT WITNESSES

There are 2 main types of experts that testify in DUI cases, SFST Experts and Forensic Toxicologists. I believe that I have assembled the best experts to be a part of my team. I do not limit myself to just the locally known experts, I have retained experts as far as Mississippi to come and testify in trial because they were the best on the national level. We have other attorneys in the firm that focus on personal injury. http://pjsduilaw.com/,http://www.duilawyersanbernardinocourt.com/ , http://www.duilawyerriversidecourt.com/
