Are you or someone close to you facing a DUI charge in Torrance?
You will want a lawyer with an office near the Court, someone who knows the
local system and has tried many cases in that Court. The extra edge you get from
a local attorney cannot be understated. Torrance DUI Attorney Matthew Ruff has
nearly 20 years of actual in-court experience fighting drunk driving allegations. In
addition, Matthew has extensive experience with the local DMV and enjoys a
high success rate for suspension hearings associated with the DUI arrest.
Torrance Police have a well-known reputation for aggressive enforcement of
drunk driving. Indeed, among all of the cities in the South Bay, Torrance boasts
one of the highest arrest rates for driving under the influence cases. Through the
use of DUI checkpoints and roving patrols, local law enforcement is very diligent,
sometimes even over-zealous in stopping and detaining motorists believed to be
driving while impaired.
What Should I Do Right Now?
Acting quickly is critical when it comes to a DUI arrest. Pursuant to California
Law (Vehicle Code 13353.2), a person arrested for alcohol related drunk driving
must ask for a DMV hearing no later than 10 calendar days, not working days,
to avoid the mandatory loss of the driver's license. If the grace period passes
and no hearing is demanded then the Department will initiate a suspension that
could last as long as 2 years depending on the number of prior convictions or
separate administrative actions on the person's record. Our Torrance DUI
Attorney will personally request the formal hearing on your behalf and make the
necessary demands for items of discovery such as the arresting officer's police
report, any videotapes or audio recording, in addition to the breath or blood test
results and all associated records relating to the maintenance and accuracy of
the particular machine used in your case.
Secondly, Attorney Matthew Ruff will go to Court on your behalf and answer the
criminal charges filed, if any. The typical criminal code violations relevant to a
DUI are Vehicle Code section 23152a, and driving with a .08% or higher
VC23152b. These are the charges that can usually be found on the citation
issued to the accused after release, or found on the booking sheet given to the
arrestee by the Torrance Jail.
With nearly two decades of experience defending driving under in influence
charges, the attorney knows the laws like the back of his hand and can use the
law to your advantage by finding breakdowns in protocol and uncovering the
failure of the officer to follow applicable regulations and legal requirements in
your case. It must be understood that the state has the burden of proof when it
comes to finding you guilty and the defense need only raise a reasonable doubt
as the that guilt in order to obtain an acquittal of all charges. Torrance DUI
Lawyer, Matthew Ruff has an impeccable track record in DWI cases and uses his
skill and experience to resolve your case in a favorable manner.
Unlike many so called "local" Torrance Law Firms, Matthew actually has his main
office in the city and is Licensed by the City of Torrance to defend and represent
clients in the local Court. Many attorneys that advertise on the web claim to be
local but do not have a full time office here, nor are they licensed to conduct
business and represent clients within the region.
If you have been issued a citation for drunk driving in or around the Torrance
area, call the attorney for a discreet and honest evaluation of your case. The
consultation is free and you have nothing to lose but worry and stress. Inasmuch
as we are local, we can go to Court for you in most cases so you do not have to
take time off from work or travel back to the county. If you missed your Court date
and need to have a bench warrant recalled, we can set up a conference with the
Judge and D.A. and take care of your outstanding Failure to appear.
A DUI conviction can be avoided if you act quickly. Hire the local Torrance
Attorney, not someone who has to drive from the valley, Beverly Hills or
Downtown Los Angeles to make your Court Appearances.
