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 actually 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 prospective it is a no lose situation…for them! If you win or lose they get paid.

We Don’t Make Unrealistic Promises

Our firm will not make unrealistic promises in the pursuit of a retainer fee. I win cases everyday to attorneys that 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.

I write the content for my Website and I make sure that I tell it how it is! If 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 think is best for you…not me. This is the right way to practice law and I receive referrals everyday from satisfied clients who I told the truth and know that I fought for them and was honest with them.

Call now and set up a free absolutely confidential consultation with me and 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; whether or not the testing device was working properly at the time of the test. Breathalyzers require regular calibration and maintenance to make sure that they deliver accurate results.

An improperly calibrated or inadequately maintained machine will produce unreliable 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 10 days or 150 people tested. If the devices are not calibrated at all or improperly calibrated, the end result is false DUI arrests. It is our duty as your DUI Defense Attorney to investigated and point out any inaccuracies or ambiguities as to your blood alcohol level at the time of arrests.

If you are facing a driving under the influence charge, contact our Lawyers, set up a free face to face consultation and 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 has been 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 which results 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.
