Los Angeles DUI Attorney

Have you been charged with DUI?

Los Angeles has one of the largest police forces in the nation; one of their main duties is to patrol neighborhoods seeking drivers who may have violated the law and are driving under the influence (DUI). It is very common to have officers pull people over, especially on weekend nights, when they might suspect drivers are operating their vehicles while drunk. If you are facing an arrest due to DUI, consulting with a knowledgeable Los Angeles DUI attorney is essential in seeking to overcome the charges. Floyd, Skeren & Kelly, LLP have been representing the Greater Los Angeles area since 1987 and are well known to law enforcement as tough and skilled defense attorneys. In our Criminal Defense department, we focus on protecting the rights of our clients.

For those facing a criminal charge for drunken driving, you can trust our legal team to provide exceptional DUI defense, including in cases involving a second and third DUI, felony DUI, federal DUI, BUI, DUI involving drugs, DUI as a minor, DUI accidents, DUI accidents with injury, hit and run and vehicular manslaughter.

Even if you are facing something such as a DMV hearing or have an out of state license, we encourage you to contact our firm as soon as possible as we have the necessary experience and knowledge to handle these complex situations.

Breathalyzer Tests / Refusal
The outcome of a breathalyzer test, or breath test, often serves as the primary foundation of the prosecuting attorney's case against a defendant facing DUI charges in Los Angeles. This test is administered to determine whether the driver was operating a motor vehicle while with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, which would be above the legal limit. If the test shows a too-high blood alcohol level, the driver will most likely face formal DUI charges. Though the outcome of a breath test may seem like it will directly impact whether you are convicted or acquitted, test results are not infallible. Our team is skilled in challenging breathalyzer test results based on improper test administration or a device that is not correctly calibrated per state standards. We similarly understand how to challenge allegations that a client has refused a breathalyzer, in order to protect his or her driver's license from administrative suspension by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
