Understanding Your DUI in Ventura County

As your Ventura County DUI attorney , I am dedicated to protecting your individual rights and giving you the best Ventura County DUI defense possible. When you are charged with either Driving Under the Influence in Ventura County or Driving with .08% or Greater Blood Alcohol Content in Ventura County, your test result is not the end of the inquiry for us. At the Law Office of Jennifer Zide, we are dedicated to challenging the assumptions of the prosecution's case and dismantling the Ventura County DUI case against you.

To prove you guilty in a prosecution for DUI in Ventura County, the burden is on the prosecution to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you were, at the time of driving, either driving with actual impairment of your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle or driving with a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit. The prosecution may attempt to prove that you were violating either section of the DUI law by using a variety of evidence, including your alleged driving pattern or reason for the stop, any symptoms or observations alleged by officers, your performance on so-called field sobriety tests, any statements you made to officers, and the results of any preliminary alcohol screening test you may have taken, in addition to any breath or blood test result. At the Law Office of Jennifer Zide, we aggressively defend clients charged with DUI in Ventura County. As your Ventura County DUI attorney , we expose the limitations of officer observations and information gathering, challenge the accuracy and reliability of your field sobriety test results, explain what your test result really means, and persuasively tell your side of the story to get you the best results possible.
