Berkeley DUI

If you or someone you know has been arrested for driving under the influence in Berkeley, California, it is essential to retain a qualified and experienced DUI lawyer immediately.

The DUI attorneys employed by the Law Office of Robert Tayac have been specifically trained in defending motorists accused of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above California’s legal limit of 0.08% in Alameda County’s Superior Courts.

The extreme complexity of a driving under the influence case requires a DUI attorney to possess expertise on a variety of topics including: human physiology, chemistry, breath-alcohol testing, blood-alcohol testing, direct and cross-examination of expert witnesses, and strict law enforcement procedures for probable cause, preliminary screening, and chemical testing.

Unlike most criminal defense offices, the Law Office of Robert Tayac focuses primarily on driving under the influence defense. Every DUI lawyer employed by this office has received specialized training specifically targeted to the successful defense of DUI related charges. At the Law Office of Robert Tayac, Attorney Tayac and his team of experienced lawyers and staff have the education, experience, and training necessary to successfully defend your Berkeley driving under the influence case.

In addition to a DUI criminal case initiated by the Alameda County Superior Court, a Berkeley DUI arrest also initiates a license suspension action which takes place before the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This Administrative Per Se (APS) hearing is conducted in order to determine whether or not an individual’s California driving privileges should be suspended as a result of their Berkeley DUI arrest.

If a DMV hearing is not requested by either the individual or the individual’s lawyer within ten (10) days of a Berkeley DUI arrest, the motorist’s right to contest the suspension of their driver license is waived and the individual’s California driver license will be automatically suspended 30 days from the date of the DUI arrest, for a minimum of 4 months. Therefore, it is critical to obtain a qualified DUI defense attorney to help protect your right to drive.

The Law Office of Robert Tayac has been helping clients accused of driving under the influence for nearly a decade. The office’s positive reputation, practical experience, winning track record, and unparalleled knowledge of DUI law have helped to make the Law Office of Robert Tayac the Bay Area’s premier DUI defense firm.
