The Los Angeles Police Department is notorious for conducting DUI checkpoints throughout the San Fernando Valley. Many people incorrectly believe that if they are arrested at a checkpoint, there is no point to fighting the case. And do you know what? Many people couldn’t be more wrong! The fact of the matter is that checkpoint arrests are very defensible. The key to fighting the case lies in finding the right attorney. And, when the arrest takes place in the “Valley”, the right attorney is someone who routinely defends DUI cases at the Van Nuys Courthouse.
A local San Fernando Valley drunk driving defense attorney not only knows how LAPD sets up their checkpoints…and therefore also knows which protocols and procedures he/she can successfully challenge…but also knows the most persuasive arguments to convince the Van Nuys prosecutors and judges that his/her client’s DUI charges should be reduced or even dismissed.
Checkpoint cases require a DUI defense attorney who has mastered the California laws that regulate these very controversial roadblocks. And San Fernando Valley checkpoint cases require a local attorney who understands how the prosecutors and judges process DUI cases at the Van Nuys Courthouse. An attorney who fits both bills will surely prove unstoppable!
