Orange County DUI Lawyers

Field Sobriety Test Defense Attorneys in Newport Beach, California

A field sobriety test is a type of test which is conducted by law enforcement when they suspect a driver of DUI (driving under the influence). Unlike chemical tests (blood tests / breath tests) which are used to determine a person’s blood alcohol concentration, field sobriety tests are used to generally show a driver’s level of impairment.

Have you been arrested for DUI in Orange County? Did you submit to field sobriety tests and were then arrested? A Newport Beach DUI defense lawyer or attorney at our firm may be able to help. Even if you have failed field sobriety tests, there are still defenses which one of our skilled attorneys may be able to use to prove a test was performed incorrectly or that there was some physical problem which resulted in skewed test results.
