Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney

DUI Jury Trials

As your Los Angeles DUI Defense Attorney, we do everything we can tog et your case dismissed or submit a plea bargain but if for some reason your DUI case goes to trial, our  DUI Attorneys can definitely help you. 

The Jury Trial Process

Before the trial even proceeds, there is a motion in limine period when motions are brought up before the court to allow the judge to rule on certain evidence to admit during trial. During this process, our DUI Lawyers investigate all the evidence that is being presented against you and look for any inconsistencies, ambiguities, or insufficiencies and draw up a motion to have such evidence excluded.

After the motions in limine are resolved, a jury selection takes place. Jury selection is important because they are the ones deciding in your innocence or guilt. As your DUI Defense Attorney we will be able to question potential jurors to determine whether they will be fair and impartial.

When trial begins, we will have an opening statement that will be powerful and convincing. The prosecution will go first because he/she has the burden of proof. Thenafter, we have the option as your defense attorney to present our opening statement immediately or wait until the prosecution is done with his/her case. We will make a wise judgement call. Either way, our opening statement for you will be persuasive and favorable to you.

Next the case is brought forward, first by the prosecution. Witnesses brought forth generally include the arresting officer and experts on blood alcohol content. As your DUI Lawyer we cross examine all the witnesses to expose any ambiguities or insufficiencies.

After the prosecution has presented his/her case, we present evidence to the jury; make motions to dismiss the case on the basis of insufficient evidence; and go forward with our aggressive defense strategy.

Then the closing arguments are presented. This is our last chance to persuade the jury to find in favor of you. We point out any ambiguities or holes in the prosecutions case and place every effort to convince the jury in your favor.

The jury is then instructed by the judge and the jury then deliberates and in order to find you guilty, there must be absolutely not a single doubt. The prosecution must have proven his/her case beyond a reasonable doubt. If the jury is unable to reach a unanimous decision, the jury is "hung" and your case dismissed.
