Strategies for Defending DUI Cases in California is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the best practices for mounting a defense against DUI charges in the state of California. Featuring partners and shareholders from some of the state s leading defense firms, these experts guide the reader through the most successful techniques for defending your client against a DUI charge, including utilizing expert witnesses, overcoming juror bias, and arguing against questionable test results. Explaining the involvement of the Department of Motor Vehicles in DUI cases, the authors examine the unique challenges of DUI law in this state and offer advice on how to overcome these obstacles. From understanding the various levels of DUI charges in California to examining breathalyzer technology, these experts illustrate the strategizing process a California defense attorney must go through in order to best serve a client. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this complex area of law. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
