thousands of drunk driving cases throughout the South Bay and Los Angeles
County. Having a seasoned legal professional in your corner is the most

What is the First Step?
Time is of the essence when it comes to taking action after a DUI arrest in
Manhattan Beach. Under California Law, specifically Vehicle Code 13353.2, the
licensee must demand a DMV hearing within 10 calendar days, not business
days, if the individual wants to save his license from being suspended. The
deadline is very serious and virtually no exceptions are made if the time expires.
Our Manhattan Beach DUI Attorney will personally arrange a formal hearing to
challenge the arresting officer's opinions and conclusions regarding intoxication,
the accuracy of the breath test and whether precious constitutional rights were
violated.
Next, we get into Court in Torrance, on Maple, and work on getting the criminal
charges of DUI (23152a) and driving with a .08% or higher (23152b) dismissed.
As local Manhattan Beach DUI attorneys with thousands of DUI cases under our
belt, you will have the assurance of knowing your case will be handled by a true
professional. Have a formidable defense attorney on your side is the best way to
a favorable resolution.
Examples of Three Recent Cases
Late last year our client was arrested in Manhattan Beach at a DUI checkpoint.
The client blew into a breath machine that displayed a .10%. Notwithstanding the
high BAC, the client maintained he was not impaired and we requested a DMV
hearing. At the hearing in El Segundo attorney Ruff persuaded the hearing
officer that the client had a "rising blood alcohol" and showed that his actual BAC
was below .08 at the time of driving. The DMV agreed and returned his license.
Thereafter, in Court Matthew fought the case and was able to negotiate a
dismissal of the DUI with no classes.
In another case, our client was arrested for DUI in Manhattan Beach. The client
had 2 prior convictions for DUI in the last 10 years. He submitted to a breath
test with a result of .24%. Attorney Matthew Ruff challenged the breath test by
showing state regulations were not followed, the DMV agreed and set aside the
license suspension. At Court the lawyer negotiated a reduction in the case that
involved no jail time.
Most recently, Matthew was retained by a client who was stopped and arrested
at a DUI checkpoint in Manhattan Beach. The client had a job that would not
tolerate its employees to have a DUI on their record. The problem was that the
client's blood test was .19% . Mr. Ruff took on the challenge and sought to find a
weakness in the case sufficient to warrant a dismissal of the DUI charges. He
filed a motion challenging the arrest and the D.A. agreed to drop the charges to a
reckless driving thereby saving the client's job.
With well over 15 years experience in the trenches fighting drunk driving cases,
attorney Matthew Ruff will never take a backward step in the pursuit of justice for
his clients. Every case is handled with the same care and attention to detail that
has resulted in literally hundreds of dismissals. No case is too difficult, including
hit and run allegations associated with the DUI, high blood alcohol levels,
probation violations, multiple priors, felony charges involving DUI with injury, just
to name a few.
When you or a loved one is facing an upcoming Court date, call the Manhattan
Beach DUI Lawyer that other attorneys and law enforcement call when they, or a
loved one is arrested for DUI. Also, because 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 bench warrant.
The bottom line is a drunk driving conviction can be avoided if you act quickly.
