Are you interested in finding a good San Diego DUI lawyer to help you with your DUI arrest? If you have been arrested for drunk driving, don't let the authorities decide without you taking any defense. You are entitled to look for a San Diego DUI lawyer and ask him/her for help. Here is some advice regarding getting a San Diego DUI lawyer for the best price.
In San Diego, drunk driving is a very common offense. So, because DUI convictions are so many, the number of DUI lawyers is accordingly. The downside for this fact may be that you don't know which lawyer to choose, being so many available.
However, it is better to have various options to choose from. The cost and the interest provided may differ from one San Diego DUI lawyer to another. The first step you should take is to find out a list of attorneys. A good source for this is the Internet, because many lawyers have websites, and you can find there information on costs and services.
The next step is to choose some names from that list and go to every San Diego DUI lawyer on your list and ask for advice. Thus, you can make a personal opinion about him/her, the help provided and the price required. Once you have decided, be sure that the San Diego DUI lawyer will try to do his/her best to get you out of trouble. Remember that he/she knows what a drunken driving accusation involves and how to defend the person accused.
When it comes to court time, the prosecution (police or sheriff's department) will often use evidence from their key witness in the crime lab. The expert that provides evidence of toxicology is the crime lab's blood-alcohol expert. These key witnesses, often called forensic toxicologists, will often go to the stand and describe what amount of alcohol was found in the blood, what is done to find this level while describing the steps in laymen's terms. They are probably the singe most important witness, because they back up the evidence of blood alcohol levels -- something that a breathalyzer may not do 100 percent of the time.
The honesty of all those in the chain of evidence gathering at the police department is important to the case at hand, but recently a San Diego DUI lawyer found the toxicologist's testimony odd since most of his account seem to come from a paper he was referring to during questioning.
Afterwards, San Diego attorney Cole Casey approached the toxicologist and asked him what he was reading during the testimony. To his surprise the witness showed him the paper he was referencing and found it to be a strict instruction list on how to answer. The instructions explained to the witness on what to say verbatim, not what their experience was or anything that they knew unique to the case.
If fact some of the questions where basically saying to play dumb and state that "it's impossible to remember each blood draw." This was the prosecutions method of putting away DUI cases without a matter of a doubt simply to make their toxicologist follow along a set of guidelines on what to do rather than what they know happened during testing -- a true conflict and a pretty blatant case of dishonesty.
Another 'Expert Witness' Gone Wrong
Another toxicologist was found, not to have been giving testimony with scripted lines, but scripting a false resume instead. During an employee record audit at the San Diego Sheriff Department's Crime lab, it was found that an often used key witness, Raymond Cole, had falsified his resume. It was found that Cole's resume states that instead of graduating from Berkeley in pre-med, he had actually graduated with a bachelor's in political science.
Unfortunately Cole had nearly 30 years working in the crime lab with many cases where he was used at the witness stand. Notices of the allegedly perjured testimony went out to the San Diego DUI lawyers that used him.
