DUI Defense Strategies: What Options Do You Have Available?

February Feb, 2019 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

If you have been arrested for a DUI charge, it might seem like the odds are stacked against you. That’s because it typically seems easy for an officer to prove a DUI and they often go uncontested in court. However, if you were arrested, but you think the arrest was unwarranted, the good news is there are ways you can fight it.

This is where the help of a professional, knowledgeable legal team like Leyba Defense comes in. Our seasoned DUI attorneys will pour through all of the information related to your case to help ensure you get the justice you deserve on your case. We can help you mount a competent defense against your DUI charges. We are familiar with a variety of strategies to fight a DUI, some of our strategies are listed below.

Challenging the Officer’s Arrest

Frequently, a DUI charge can be challenged simply by looking at the circumstances of the initial arrest. Did the officer do everything correctly? If not, then it’s very possible that you can beat the charge by arguing the finer points of the applicable laws. This is why having a strong legal team is of paramount importance. At Leyba Defense, we know the law. We know to examine the entire case for:

An improper stop

In order for you to be pulled over in the first place, it’s necessary for the officer to have “probable cause” – in other words, an actual reason to pull you over. He can’t initiate a traffic stop simply because he has a feeling you’ve been drinking or he was bored. This is one of the most common ways a DUI charge can be fought because the officer has to be able to show that he pulled you over for a specific reason. Were you swerving? Were you a risk to others while driving? Often, this takes nothing more than reviewing the officer’s video evidence to see. If no probable cause can be detected, then it’s easy to mount a defense.

An improper test

Another common way to fight a DUI charge is to challenge the test itself. Depending on the type of field test given, we look at the calibration of the breathalyzer, or the training of the officer. If the officer was not properly trained, then their field test might be ruled invalid and thrown out.

An improper arrest

A third thing we look at is the arrest procedure. As you know, officers are required to perform arrests in a certain fashion. If we can prove that any of these procedures were not followed – such as not administering your Miranda rights or in some other way violated your civil rights – that goes a long way to mounting a successful defense.

Challenging the Officer’s Judgement

In addition to challenging the arrest itself, another way to fight a DUI charge is to challenge the judgment of the officer. This is similar, in some ways to challenging the test itself but in this case, we go towards the subjective viewpoint of the arresting officer. Often, arrests are made on what appear to be symptoms of drinking–dizziness, red eyes, alcohol smells – but can also have perfectly logical explanations.

Of course, these logical explanations need to be true for you— if you’ve been suffering from an illness, are taking medication, or maybe had one drink (enough to taint your breath, but not enough to be intoxicated)—then it’s possible to fight this very subjective call.

Introducing “Extra” Information

Even if the arresting officer acted properly, administered field tests accurately and didn’t violate any procedures, this doesn’t mean you don’t have any legal recourse. It’s possible that there is extra information, not asked at the time or considered, that can shed some light on your actions and turn a guilty judgment into not guilty. These extenuating circumstances need to be entered into the record of your case as soon as possible, and they often involve an uphill battle to prove–but they can also be the difference between guilty and not guilty.

These special circumstances include:

Necessity – this involves a situation where, even though you were intoxicated, you still had to drive in order to prevent a greater evil or tragedy.

Duress – this involves being forced to drive against your will.

Mistake of Fact – you might not actually realize you’re intoxicated. This doesn’t mean you didn’t realize how much you drank, but it can be used when you are on medication that reacts with alcohol and you simply aren’t aware of these effects.

As you can see, getting charged with DUI doesn’t have to be the end of life as you know it. If you feel you were wrongly charged, there are things you can do to fight this. Of course, the first thing you need to do is enlist the help of a legal team. Please contact us at Leyba Defense today so we can start working on your case. You won’t know if you can beat it until you try!

Misdemeanor DUI and Employment: How Does It Affect Your Job?

January Jan, 2019 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

Try as everyone might, to keep their personal lives separate from their work lives, there may be times that an off-the-clock decision can have consequences on your job. It’s easy to see how being arrested for a DUI may affect an on-the-road job, but it is possible to affect your paycheck even if you do not drive for a living?

Laws Regulating Background Checks

Federal

The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs all states. Though it bans reporting arrests that are more than seven years old, convictions (such as DUI) could be reported indefinitely. Additionally, such restrictions are limited to jobs with a salary of $75,000 or less. While the federal courts have frequently ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits employers from refusing employment to a person with a conviction unless there is a compelling, or related, business reason to support it, there are times that it may conflict with state laws. It can be difficult for a citizen to know which applies.

State

Most states allow employers to deny employment to any who have a conviction, with some going as far as allowing denial to applicants with only an arrest record. Some states offer a rehabilitation certificate that may be used to remove the limits on finding employment.

If running for office, or applying for state professional licenses, it is required to report a DUI for 10 years.

Background Checks 101

There are about 20 types of information that may turn up in a background check, such as driving records, vehicle registrations, character references, and, of course, criminal and court records. In the age of Google, public records make many criminal convictions available in a simple search (there are even apps that are specific for this purpose). Employers are going as far as searching applicants’ social media accounts to determine personalities and risks since some people post about their legal indiscretions.

When directly asked, be sure, to tell the truth. It is much more likely that an employer will overlook a DUI than a lie during a first impression.

Things That Can Combat the Label

While the outlook can seem bleak for job hunters with a criminal background, it isn’t an automatic blacklisting. The right candidate can reasonably expect to be a strong contender for a position that is the appropriate fit. Here are a couple of things that you can do to raise your desirability as an employee above the negative connotation of the conviction.

Use the Best of Your Tools: One of the best things to override an unappealing past is a terrific present – as promoted by your referrals. To be high enough to lift the appeal, the higher the status of the reference, the better. Clergy, judges, respected members of the community…when an individual of importance is willing to put their name on a reference, it can impress an employer to consider the applicant as fully rehabilitated and trustworthy. Bonus points for anyone in said positions who can also attest to your work practices.
Lead the Employer’s Focus to What You Contribute: Just as you want to sell yourself above the other applicants, now is the time to make your employment seem necessary. Focus on what you bring to the table to solve the employer’s problems and guarantee its success. Address the needs covered in the job description and keep the attention on your ability to satisfy those requirements.

Unseen Costs

Even if the DUI does not directly result in termination of employment, the process of the legal system can jeopardize your job. Any days spent in jail, or time held up at court (or other appointments), could lead to missing hours of work that are not compensated. Administrative court costs and fines add up quickly, doubling the financial woes if work hours are lost. Add in costs for any type of classes or courses that are mandated in the final order, and the expenses can continue long after the incident. Auto insurance will likely increase, despite how clean of a driving record you may have. Other professional insurances, such as malpractice and liability, may also be impacted.

Clearing a DUI Conviction

Laws governing this vary widely from state to state, but a DUI offender may consider having the conviction expunged (when a court seals a record of arrest or conviction). For the purposes of most employment background checks, this is as close to erasing a conviction as it gets.

The impact a DUI can have on your work life can be catastrophic. It is important to speak with a DUI attorney who is familiar with all possible areas affected to better understand the recourse options, as well as to develop a plan to minimize the detriment to your ability to earn a living.

5 Factors That Can Distort Breathalyzer Test Accuracy

October Oct, 2018 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

If you’ve ever been pulled over for a DUI, then you know that one of the first things that the police will do is subject you to a breathalyzer test. This simple device can be the deciding factor in your case, testing over 0.08 can get you in some serious trouble. However, did you know those breathalyzers are not always as accurate as they should be?

Unfortunately, because the thinking is that these tests are infallible, most police officers and prosecutors will trust them implicitly. But, once you look at the evidence, it’s apparent that they should be scrutinized more often than not, thanks to a variety of factors that can influence how effective they are.

So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at what can impact the accuracy of a breathalyzer, as well as what to do if you feel that you were unfairly subjected to an imperfect test.

1. The Breathalyzer Itself

Although the purpose of this machine is simple, the way that it’s made is relatively complicated. As such, different manufacturers can use a variety of materials and methods when producing these devices, which can lead to different readings based on the make and model being used.

Depending on where you live, local laws may govern breathalyzers, meaning that all of them used out in the field have to be compliant if they are going to hold up in court. If that isn’t the case, then your lawyer may successfully prove that the wrong device was used, meaning that your DUI may be overturned.

2. Calibration of the Test

If you want to make sure that your thermometer is working, what do you do? The correct answer is that you put it in a cup of ice water and wait for it to reach 32 degrees. If this doesn’t happen, then your thermometer isn’t calibrated correctly and must either be corrected or replaced.

The same is true with breathalyzers. Because these machines are so complex, they have to be calibrated correctly on a regular basis, lest they produce incorrect results. In fact, most of the time, police officers are supposed to recalibrate their breathalyzers every time they’re used, as well as make a note of it each time that happens.

As we all know, mistakes happen, and sometimes this doesn’t occur. Fortunately, if you were subjected to a test that hadn’t been calibrated correctly or recently, you may be able to argue that it was not working correctly when it was used on you.

3. Single Use Testing

Using our thermometer analogy again, let’s say that you take your temperature and it’s higher than average. Would you trust it the first time, especially if you didn’t feel particularly hot? Probably not, right?

Well, the same should hold true of a breathalyzer test. Because detecting alcohol in your mouth is not an exact science, multiple tests should be conducted to make sure that you are, in fact, over the legal limit.

Unfortunately, most officers will only administer the test once, meaning that if you fail, you could be facing a DUI, even if repeated tests may come to different conclusions. According to research, the variance in accuracy can be as much as 12%, which shows how necessary it is to get multiple readings before making a final assessment.

Thus, if you were not subjected to multiple tests, then you may be able to claim that the accuracy was not established correctly. Because of this variance, it’s imperative for all officers to double and triple-check if necessary to ensure accuracy.

4. Medical Conditions

Breathalyzers are designed to pick up on alcohol in your breath, but that doesn’t always mean that it came from drinking. Alcohol can take a variety of forms, some of which can occur naturally in the body.

If you have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or acid-reflux, then you may produce enzymes that can be misread as ethyl alcohol by the test. If that happens, then it’s imperative that you share your conditions when being subjected so that the officer can administer multiple tests or recalibrate the device as necessary.

When it comes to defending your case in court, as long as a physician has documented your condition, it may be enough to dismiss the accuracy of the test and help your situation.

5. Breathing Patterns

Because these tests are relatively sensitive, it doesn’t take much to alter a reading. This variance is why multiple tests are necessary in most cases, as different breathing patterns can skew the results one way or the other.

For example, keeping your mouth closed may result in a higher concentration of ethyl alcohol. So can holding your breath before the test. Although variance may not be substantial, it can be enough to set you over the legal limit. Remember, we’re talking about tenths of a percentage point, so every bit counts.

Although it’s much harder to prove how you were breathing before the test was administered, it shows how crucial it is for officers to conduct multiple tests before making an arrest. If that didn’t happen, then you can usually show how easy it is to skew the results, which can make them irrelevant to your case.

Underage DUIs in Washington: What Happens Next?

August Aug, 2018 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious criminal charge that can have a permanent effect on a person’s life. While it’s bad enough if you’re charged with a DUI, it’s even worse if you’re the parent or a guardian of a minor charged with a DUI.

An underage DUI can result in a complete loss of driving privileges, hefty fines, and a lasting criminal record. If you want to minimize the damages your child suffers as the result of a DUI, keep reading. We’ll educate you about what happens if your minor gets a DUI, and what you need to do to help them. You’ll learn why you need a DUI defense attorney to represent your child, and what a good DUI lawyer should do for your defense.

If you’re in the greater Seattle area, and you need an attorney for an underage DUI, contact us right now. Don’t wait another second in giving your child the best defense possible.

What Happens if a Minor Gets a DUI?

If a minor is arrested for a DUI, they will be booked and processed at a police station. Minors are usually not placed in holding cells with adults—they’re kept separate until their parents or a guardian come and pick them up.

The possible penalties and repercussions for an underage DUI conviction may include:

Suspension of License – The length of the suspension is affected by the level of intoxication, the rate of offense, and any relevant circumstances related to the DUI arrest.
Revoked Drivers License – After repeat or severe DUI charges, the Department of Licensing may restrict a person from ever driving a car in Washington state.
Tickets & Fines – All DUI charges will cost you money. There may be multiples fines you need to pay that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Court Mandated Drug/Alcohol Testing – A teenage DUI can result in your minor needing to regularly check in with the state to ensure they are sober.
A Criminal Record – Once a minor is convicted of an underage DUI, they have a permanent criminal record. This can impact future employment opportunities or admittance to certain universities.

When you’re the parent of a minor facing a DUI, getting an attorney is the thing to do. Your DUI lawyer works to minimize the charges your son or daughter may have to deal with.

What Should I Do if My Teen is Charged With an Underage DUI?

We recommend three things—retaining a DUI criminal defense lawyer, having a serious discussion with your teenager, and showing them that their actions have consequences. The next section has more information on why finding the right DUI lawyer is important.

Most teenagers experiment with alcohol or drugs, but most don’t get teenage DUIs. Talk to your teen—ask questions about why they’re doing drugs and drinking. Punishment may certainly be in order, but so is listening. Find out if this was their first time drinking or using drugs. Find out what made them want to get drunk and/or high. You may be sad or angry with your teen—but you’ll learn the most by listening first.

Next, your teenager needs to respect the responsibility that comes with their car. Being under the influence and operating a vehicle puts many lives in danger. It’s not just the driver’s life and well-being on the line—it’s also every other person out on the road.

You may decide your teenager needs to face consequences that don’t just include the law. Grounding your kid, taking away their vehicle, or enrolling them in community service are some options for proactive punishments. Also, when you’re in court, mentioning your involvement in your child’s well-being and self-appointed consequences may play favorably. Show that your teen has genuine remorse for their actions and won’t drink and drive again.

Remember, teenage minors are just discovering their new freedoms, and are going to make mistakes. If you help them correct these mistakes now, using communication tempered with discipline, you can prevent them from going down this road again.

Why You Need a DUI Defense Attorney for an Underage DUI

While you handle your family business, you need a seasoned DUI attorney to help your child with their underage DUI charge.

You don’t want to represent yourself or your kid during an underage DUI. You need a qualified DUI attorney who can:

Build Your Case – You have the right to defend your child. A DUI attorney can see if the arrest is challengeable. They can challenge the field sobriety test or arresting procedure. Each case is different, and your attorney will help form a defense strategy uniquely suited for you.
Represent You in Court – While an underage DUI is a big deal for you and your kid, it’s in a DUI lawyer’s day-to-day. The courtroom is their ballpark and this is their game. It’s important to hire a Seattle DUI attorney with a good reputation and a proven track record. You want a DUI attorney who knows the law as well as they know the judges and prosecutors.
Dismiss or Reduce Charges – With a proper DUI defense, you might get your charges completely dismissed. A good DUI defense can mean paying fewer fines, having a shorter license suspension, and staying out of jail.
Answer Your Questions – If you or your child never had a DUI before, that’s a very good thing. However, this is also completely unfamiliar territory. You want to play a proactive role in your child’s defense. Get a professional DUI attorney to walk you through to proceedings and educate you.

How to Find an Ideal Ignition Interlock Device Company in WA

July Jul, 2018 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

Getting a DUI is an expensive mistake. Not only do you have to pay court fees and fines that could cost thousands of dollars, but in many cases, you may also have to install an ignition interlock device (IID) into your car. Although these devices are part of your sentence and ordered by the court, DUI recipients have to pay for the cost of installation and maintenance out of their own pocket.

If you have to install an IID into your car or truck, you’re going to have to figure out which company is the right one to fit your needs. Typically, the courts will give you contact info for major installers, but when you’re living in Washington, you’ll want someone a bit more local and a bit cheaper as an alternative.

Today we’re going to discuss ignition interlocking devices in detail—what they are, how they work, and how to choose the right installer.

How to Find a IID Device

What is an Ignition Interlocking Device?

After receiving a DUI, the court will try to determine if you are eligible to continue driving. For many people, their cars are essential to everyday life, so losing their license or being unable to drive for a period can create significant problems. To get around this issue, there are ignition interlocking devices.

IIDs are designed to allow DUI recipients to continue driving while still making sure that they don’t get behind the wheel while under the influence again. They are essentially a breathalyzer that is attached to the engine – if you pass the test, then you can start the car. If you don’t pass, then the vehicle will stay off, and the incident will be logged into the internal system.

These devices not only require a clean breath test to start the car but they also have drivers submit a sample while they’re driving as well. This is called “rolling testing,” and it’s designed to prevent someone other than the driver from submitting a breath test.

If you fail the rolling test, then the car will issue a warning and force you to come to a stop. It won’t automatically shut off the engine as that could create a dangerous situation, but it may be designed to slow the car on its own so that you can pull over and submit a clean test.

Costs of an IID

As we mentioned, DUI recipients are responsible for paying to install these devices in their cars. On top of installation and removal fees, there are also monthly maintenance costs that can add up—especially because most sentences require the device to stay in place for at least six months to a year.

Although these prices will vary based on local regulations and the installer themselves, an average installation can run between $70-$150. Monthly fees will be around $60-$80, so you’re looking at a total expense of about $500-$800 for a six-month sentence.

At first, this will seem particularly pricey, but when you consider how much it would cost to utilize other forms of transportation—assuming that you don’t have someone who can drive you, the expense is usually worth it.

How to Find a Reputable IID Installer

As we mentioned, the court will likely provide you with a list of installers once you’re convicted of a DUI. However, because you’re the one paying for the installation and maintenance, it’s up to you to find the right WA company for your vehicle. Here are a few things to consider when making a decision.

Check the IID Features

First and foremost, you will want to try and get a device that is the least intrusive. Some models will require you to wait for a set time before you can start driving, while others may have a complicated set of instructions to take the test. Typically speaking, the more convenient a machine is, the likelier that an installer will charge more for installation. Overall, you want simplicity and convenience if possible, check out the devices available and see how they will impact your driving abilities.

Ask Pertinent Questions of the Installer

When you’re convicted of a DUI, you will be given a period in which to find and install your IID. Generally, you won’t have very long, so it’s imperative that you find a decent installer as quickly as possible. Here are some questions to ask a potential installer to figure out which one is right for you.

How long have you been installing IIDs?

Companies that have been doing this for years will usually have better service and more affordable rates than those that are still brand new.

When can I contact customer service with a problem?

IIDs can be fickle machines, and you’ll likely have to call someone because it’s not acting right. If the company has limited customer service hours (i.e., 9-5), you could be out of luck if you go driving outside of those hours.

Which vehicles can you install in?

Make sure that the installer won’t have any problems putting an IID in your car. Different makes, models, and years require an understanding of the car’s internal systems, which means that some installers may not be able to put an IID if your vehicle is not within certain parameters (i.e., too old or a brand they don’t service).

Bottom Line

Getting a DUI can be a disaster if you’re not prepared. Contact Leyba Defense immediately to get the legal representation you deserve. Don’t let the court push you around, and don’t let your DUI ruin your life. We have the experience to help you in this situation, so let us guide you through this process.

A Beginner’s Guide to Winning a DoL Hearing

April Apr, 2018 Matthew Leyba Leave a comment

If you’re charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Washington state, you’re going to face two sets of charges. The first will be the criminal case against you for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The second set of charges are from the Washington Department of License (DoL). The DoL will hold a hearing that decides if you can keep your license and/or how long it will be suspended for.

In today’s article, we’ll explain what a DoL hearing is. We’ll talk about what you’re likely to encounter as a DUI defendant in a DoL hearing. Read our tips on how to prepare for your DoL hearing. Learn how Washington DUI Lawyer Matthew Leyba will fight for you during your DUI criminal case and DoL hearing. See how you can have a better shot at keeping your license when you hire a law firm like Leyba Defense.

What is a DoL Hearing?

In addition to the criminal charge of a DUI, a Washington State DoL hearing determines if you get to keep your license or not.

After being arrested for a DUI in Washington state, your license is automatically suspended for no less than 60 days. The only way to do avoid this is to file a DoL hearing request.

To request a DoL hearing in Washington, the person charged with a DUI must:

Mail a written request for a DoL Hearing to the Washington Department of License.
Pay a $375.00 application fee.
Submit this request and payment within 60 days of the defendant’s arrest.

By filing for this hearing, your license will not be suspended until your case goes to trial and a verdict is rendered. If you win your hearing, you effectively never lose your driving privileges, and you don’t have to suffer the inconvenient consequences of being without a license.

Should you lose the hearing, the length of your license suspension is determined by:

Any prior criminal offenses.
Your level of intoxication during your arrest.
Your refusal or acceptance of a field sobriety test.
Any other relevant circumstances surrounding your DUI arrest (i.e. refusing to cooperate with officers, possession of other illegal substances or items, etc.)

DoL hearing verdicts are usually issued in writing after the hearing is complete. A decision may arrive in just a few days or it can take a few months.

How to Prepare for Your DoL Hearing

You’ll only have about an hour to make your case during a Washington Department of License hearing, so you have to be prepared. What can you do to get ready for your DoL hearing? Here are five suggestions to get you started:

1. Retain Legal Counsel

If you’ve been arrested for a DUI and you’re facing criminal charges in Washington and a DoL hearing, you need to hire a lawyer immediately. If you’re trying to win your case and keep your license, you need a professional attorney to represent you. They know DUI law, the Washington courtrooms, the judges, and the best approach for you to take as a DoL hearing defendant.

2. Be Proactive and Informed

If you’ve never faced DUI charges before or been to a DoL hearing, that’s fine. Your attorney can help educate you on the proceedings; however, you don’t want to take a backseat during your defense. Read articles (like this one) that tell you how to prepare for a DoL hearing. Look up lawyers and past cases where the defendant kept their license. Ask your attorney questions about your defense. Understand everything that’s happening during your DUI charges. It’s your license on the line and you can’t afford to lose it.

3. Gather Evidence

The first piece of evidence you need to examine is your case’s police report. Know the exact details recorded during your arrest. A smart defense attorney will search for discrepancies or mistakes in a police report. Other evidence that can help you win your DoL hearing may include eyewitness testimony, breathalyzer results, and questioning the arresting officer.

4. Develop Your Defense

If you want to win your DoL hearing, you need to clarify your defense position and form a plan that executes on your win condition. There are four issues that each DoL hearing looks to resolve – work with your lawyer and find defense strategies that:

Contest the lawfulness of your arrest (i.e. procedural errors, chain of custody, etc.)
Contest the “reasonable grounds” the arresting officer had to believe you were intoxicated while driving.
Contest whether or not the officer informed you of your Miranda rights and suspicion of intoxication.
Contest the procedures or results of any DUI testing (breathalyzers, blood test, etc)

5. Hope for the Best & Prepare for the Worst

Preparation and information gathering are the best chances you have of winning your DoL hearing. Your ideal result is the charges are dismissed and you get to keep your license. However, even with the best defense strategy, you may temporarily lose the privilege to drive. Do everything in your power to win your DoL hearing — but, be ready to accept a life without your license, too.

DUI Criminal Defense Attorney Matt Leyba Will Fight For Your License

No honest attorney can promise you a favorable outcome for your case. It’s impossible for a lawyer to guarantee you’ll win your DoL hearing and keep your license.

The right lawyer will do whatever it takes to provide you with an informed and intelligent legal defense. A strong criminal defense attorney will be by your side while you contest your DUI charges, and they’ll guide you through your DoL hearing as well.
