QUESTION
Can I get my DUI charge dropped if the officers waited a little an hour to take me back after they pulled me over?

More details to this question:
I recently got a DUI charge prior to this I never even had a speeding record. I was wondering if a judge would drop this 1st time charge, this will ruin my future goals and plans for seeking a career in nursing. Also I got pulled over around 2:25 a.m the officer waited till the CHP came to take over. So my BAC wasn't taken until around 3:35 a.m a little over an hour I was pulled over. I feel like that long of a wait made my BAC level increase over the legal limit and I wonder if this can be a reason to have my DUI dropped.

It won't be enough to have the case dropped, but may be enough to raise a reasonable doubt at trial. Hire an attorney.

Not by yourself. You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.
