QUESTION

What are his chances with no evidence, when he wasn't even driving?

Asked on Jul 26th, 2016 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
My son was charged with a DUI. He was in the parking lot arguing with his girlfriend. He just found out they charged him with a DUI when he went to court for this arrest. The police did not give him a breathalyzer test, nor did they take blood or urine or give him a sobriety test. He pleaded not guilty at the hearing and the judge continued the hearing to August 11, 2016.

There has to be some type of evidence for the D.A. to file DUI charges. A full review of the complaint, police report and discovery packet needs to be made before an accurate answer can be given. I am assuming that your son has an attorney, in which case, this question should be posed to his attorney, since his attorney knows more about the case than anyone else. If he does not have an attorney, then I suggest that he hire one immediately.

He needs a lawyer. The state can charge anyone with anything. He needs someone to fight for him.

He needs to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because he has only 10 days to save his license.
