Strategic DMV Administrative Hearings and License Protection

When you are arrested for a DUI in California, the clock immediately begins ticking. You have only ten days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing with the DMV, or your driver's license will be automatically suspended. Bakersfield DUI Attorneys understands the urgency of this process and moves rapidly to protect your driving privileges. The firm handles all communications with the DMV, schedules your hearing, and represent you during the administrative proceedings. Attorney Patrick Bowers carefully reviews the arresting officer's reports to identify constitutional violations, such as lack of probable cause for the traffic stop, helping you avoid license suspension and protect your commercial driver's license (CDL).

Challenging Breathalyzer and Blood Chemical Test Evidence

Many people believe that a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reading makes a conviction inevitable. However, chemical tests are prone to calibration errors, administration mistakes, and physiological variances. Patrick Bowers and the legal team at Bakersfield DUI Attorneys have a proven track record of challenging blood and breath test results. In fact, attorney Bowers was part of the pioneering legal team that successfully argued landmark California appellate cases-including Department of Motor Vehicles v. Najera and Department of Motor Vehicles v. Bouton-rebutting the legal presumption that reported blood tests are automatically reliable. By exposing forensic inconsistencies and laboratory errors, the firm is often able to secure dismissed charges or significant plea reductions.

Aggressive Defense for Felony, Aggravated, and Drug DUI Charges

DUI cases involving traffic accidents, high BAC levels, multiple prior offenses, or driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) carry severe penalties, including mandatory prison sentences.
