Avoid These Common DUI Mistakes
A DUI arrest can understandably leave you feeling overwhelmed. Many people in Indio, La Quinta, or Palm Springs may believe the best course is to plead guilty and move on. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Here’s why you should always consult an experienced DUI attorney before deciding:
Was the Traffic Stop Legal?
If the officer lacked a legitimate reason to stop you, the evidence collected during the stop may be inadmissible. Without evidence, there’s no case.Were You Actually Driving?
Being found in your car doesn’t necessarily mean you were driving. For instance, sleeping off alcohol in your car shouldn’t automatically result in a DUI conviction. To protect your rights, we will carefully examine all the facts.Were the Tests Accurate?

Unlike judges, prosecutors, and even many lawyers, Forest and Josh take the time to hear your side. Personal health conditions, external factors, or unusual circumstances at the scene could impact your defense.Honest Advice You Can Trust
