DUI Defense in Los Angeles, CA

With DUI being the most commonly charged crime in America, our firm has successfully handled thousands of DUI matters. Our extensive experience is a testament to our ability to navigate the complexities of DUI cases. Let our proven track record work for you!

People who are not criminals are being arrested and prosecuted for DUI matters every day. A person does not have to be a criminal to receive a DUI case. Regular citizens with no criminal record are being arrested and prosecuted for DUI matters at record numbers.

Because of the sheer number of DUI arrests, our firm and its attorneys are in court every day, dealing with prosecutors and judges related to DUI cases. We know exactly what to do and how to handle a DUI case.

The majority of Southern California DUI and drunk driving-related cases occur in Los Angeles County. Our firm has tremendous experience handling DUI cases throughout the San Fernando Valley but handles a large portion of its cases in Los Angeles.

If your DUI arrest or case originated in Los Angeles, please contact one of our attorneys today to discuss the case in more detail. Our firm will not only handle the criminal aspect of the case but will also arrange for a DMV hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles to help save your driver's license. During this hearing, we will present your case and argue for the preservation of your driving privileges.

Remember, you only have ten days after your DUI arrest to secure a DMV hearing before the State suspends your license until the criminal case has been resolved against you.

Rest assured that our DUI defense team will do everything in its power to help save your license and get you the best possible outcome for your DUI case. Keep in mind that our attorneys travel throughout Southern California and all Los Angeles courts trying and settling DUI cases.

Through our 75+ years of combined experience, we know when to fight a DUI case and when the best move is to settle it. We will never encourage a client to go to trial (pay us more money and risk a worse punishment) if we do not believe we can win.

This is where we differ from many so-called “DUI firms”…They encourage you to go to trial from the very beginning…before they even have a grasp of how strong the prosecution's case is. You see, from their perspective, it is a no-lose situation…for them! If you win or lose, they get paid.

Types of DUI Cases We Handle

We Don't Make Unrealistic Promises

Our firm will not make unrealistic promises in the pursuit of a retainer fee. I win cases every day to attorneys who promise the moon. I know they are not being truthful with the client…but when someone is desperate to hear good news…they listen to whoever tells them the most positive story.

At our Firm, we believe in telling it how it is. When you call and ask to meet with Ron Hedding, you will meet with me, and I will evaluate your case and guide you in the direction that I believe is best for you, not me. This commitment to honesty and integrity is the right way to practice law, and it's what earns us referrals every day from satisfied clients.

Call now to set up a free confidential consultation with me. I will evaluate your situation, tell you what I think, and quote you a fair fee.

Breathalyzer Calibration

A common DUI defense is the breathalyzer evidence, which shows whether or not the testing device was working properly at the time of the test. Breathalyzers require regular calibration and maintenance to ensure that they deliver accurate results.

A properly calibrated or adequately maintained machine will produce reliable results. As your defense attorney, if we can show that the police department did not properly maintain and calibrate the breathalyzer device, then the results are likely inaccurate, and we will motion the court to make the breathalyzer test inadmissible as evidence against you.

According to California law, the testing devices must be calibrated every ten days, or 150 people must be tested. If the devices are not calibrated at all or improperly calibrated, the result is false DUI arrests. It is our duty as your DUI Defense Attorney to investigate and point out any inaccuracies or ambiguities as to your blood alcohol level at the time of the arrest.

If you are facing a driving under the influence charge, contact our Lawyers and set up a free face-to-face consultation. We will investigate the police report, and the devices used that led to your DUI arrest. We will look for any ambiguities or inaccuracies in the blood alcohol level and do our research to see whether the device used was timely and properly calibrated.

Most police officers are not properly trained, certified, or educated about the device used to take a breath test, which can consequently result in mistakes that result in false DUI arrests.

We assist clients throughout Southern California, including the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Clarita, Antelope, and the Conejo Valley.

If you or someone you know needs a DUI lawyer, do not hesitate to call us at The Hedding Law Firm to set up an appointment. We will provide you with a detailed evaluation at no cost to you.
