Strongest Defense, a criminal defense firm in Ventura, California is celebrating a recent victory in which they successfully secured the dismissal of charges in a fourth-time DUI felony case, resulting in no legal penalties for the accused.
Ventura, California, July 2, 2024 — In DUI cases in California, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to establish that the person charged with the DUI was actually driving the vehicle at the time of the arrest. This includes proving that the individual had a BAC of 0.08 or higher or was otherwise intoxicated. Even though their client was found behind the wheel with the engine running and had a BAC of 0.21%, leading attorney and founder of Strongest Defense, David Lehr, was able to prevent the prosecutor from proving that the client was driving.
The prosecutor was seeking a year in prison; however, the client did not have to serve time for a crime that could not be proven. David not only saved the client from spending a year in prison, but also protected his record, reputation, relationships, employment opportunities, and future prospects. Without this successful defense, a conviction or plea bargain would have resulted in severe and long-lasting negative consequences for the client’s life, such as a permanent criminal record, loss of professional licenses, difficulty finding employment, strained personal relationships, and significant financial burdens.
This is just one of the many victories that the DUI lawyer has won in court for clients accused of criminal charges. In this particular case, the firm successfully defeated the central accusation that the client was the driver. In other cases, the firm employs various other defenses, such as challenging the lack of reasonable suspicion or probable cause for the traffic stop, and questioning the accuracy of breathalyzer and field sobriety tests.
The firm’s comprehensive approach ensures the best possible outcomes for their clients, safeguarding their freedom and future.
“We know the weight that DUI charges and other criminal offenses carry. The consequences can flip your life upside down, affecting everything from your personal relationships to your career. We have the skills and knowledge needed to prevent that from happening, and that’s why we do what we do,” said David Lehr. “Our dedication to our clients’ rights and futures drives us to fight tirelessly for the best case scenario every time.”
