Sobriety Checkpoints

DUI Defense Attorney in Santa Monica

Were you recently arrested at a sobriety checkpoint set up by law enforcement in the Santa Monica area?  Do you know for a fact that your constitutional rights were not violated in any way?  Most of the time, this can only be determined by a skilled legal representative that is well versed in the regulations and procedures that have been put in place by the Supreme Judicial Court to govern such actions that law enforcement officials carry out.

If you are facing DUI charges because you were found to be driving under the influence at a sobriety checkpoint, it is vitally important that you speak with a seasoned Santa Monica DUI defense lawyer about the circumstances of your arrest.  If your rights were violated in any way, you will need to aggressively fight the charges and be able to properly convey to the court what took place.
