Let a Former Prosecutor Fight for You
A DUI conviction can seriously impact your reputation and complicate your life. If you have been charged with a DUI, you may think that your case is hopeless. If a blood test or BAC test showed that you exceeded the legal limit, is there anything you can do? A lot of factors can affect the reliability of these tests.
At Camarata & Marren, LLP, we research and assess cases as a team. We work together to come up with an aggressive and results-driven strategy. Our team has handled thousands of cases from negotiations to court trials. With a former prosecutor on our side, we know the law from both sides and can build a defense strategy that anticipates the prosecution’s argument.

The Basics of DUI in California
DUI stands for driving under the influence. If you are found operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you will be given a breathalyzer test to determine your blood-alcohol content (BAC). In California, it is illegal to drive with a BAC over 0.08%. Commercial drivers can be charged with a DUI if their BAC level is over 0.04%. Our state’s zero-tolerance policy declares that anyone under 21 can be arrested for a DUI if they have a BAC over 0.01%. It is illegal to refuse a breathalyzer test after you have been arrested according to the California "implied consent" laws.
DUI Defenses
Just because you were arrested for a DUI does not mean your case is over. You have the right to an attorney and a fair trial and you are innocent until proven guilty.
Some common DUI defenses we may incorporate include:
- The breathalyzer test was faulty due to misuse, poor maintenance, or external factors
- Your BAC level was influenced by certain foods or prescribed medications
- GERD, hiatal hernia, or heartburn caused a false positive on your breathalyzer test
- There was a lack of probable cause to stop your car or arrest you in the first place
- You were not read your Miranda rights
- You were drowsy, ill, or struggling with allergies and these symptoms were used against you to show intoxication
- You were compelled to perform field sobriety tests and failed to pass them because of physical injury, mental instability, or other factors
- Police misconduct
