Unparalleled Expertise in DUI Defense

What truly sets the Law Office of Robert Tayac apart from other general practice Criminal Defense Lawyers is our unparalleled, highly specialized background in DUI investigation and defense. Robert Tayac is a former San Francisco Police Officer and Police Inspector. This unique law enforcement experience provides him with an insider's perspective on exactly how police officers are trained to conduct DUI stops, administer field sobriety tests, and operate breathalyzer equipment. In fact, Mr. Tayac is one of the very few attorneys certified by the San Francisco Police Department on the Intoxilyzer 5000 evidential breath testing device. Furthermore, he literally wrote the book on the subject, co-authoring the authoritative 4th Edition of 'California Drunk Driving Defense,' a practice guide widely used by other attorneys across the state. 🚗 When you find an attorney with this level of specialized education and hands-on experience, you significantly level the playing field against the prosecution. We meticulously dissect every single element of your arrest, searching for constitutional violations, procedural errors, and scientific inaccuracies that can be leveraged to secure a dismissal or reduction of your charges.

Dominating Both Criminal Court and DMV Hearings

A DUI arrest in Walnut Creek initiates two entirely separate, highly complex legal proceedings: the criminal case prosecuted by the Contra Costa County District Attorney in Superior Court, and an administrative hearing conducted by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Many people do not realize that they only have ten days from the date of their arrest to request a DMV hearing, or their driver's license will be automatically suspended. The Law Office of Robert Tayac provides comprehensive representation in both arenas. We act immediately to request your DMV hearing and vigorously contest the suspension of your driving privileges. 📝 Simultaneously, we meticulously prepare your defense for criminal court. We routinely challenge the accuracy of Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) devices, evidential breath tests, and blood tests. We cross-examine the arresting officers, utilize top-tier forensic toxicologists, and expose the inherent flaws in standardized field sobriety testing to ensure that your rights are fiercely protected at every single stage of the process.
