Common DUI Defense Strategies

At Hoffman & Associates, we understand the necessity of proactively defending our clients who face DUI charges. We focus intently on the facts of your case and are not afraid to challenge discrepancies we uncover that may aid in your defense. Mistakes happen, but you should not pay the price for them occurring. For example, the accuracy of a field sobriety test may be challenged in several ways. Our skilled DUI defense attorneys know what to look for and how to question the accuracy of important evidence, such as the maintenance and calibration records of a breathalyzer machine. We will work to uncover erroneous evidence being used by the prosecutor against you, and these discoveries can have a dramatic impact on your case.

The facts behind each DUI case are different, but as our client, we want you to have a thorough understanding of the allegations you face, as well as any DUI defense that is available to you based on the facts of your case. Mitigating circumstances can often create a favorable response in front of the judge and prosecutor. Separate from fighting the facts the case of the case, these mitigating circumstances can also reflect favorably on our clients. Since perception is an important tool in any defense, we will work to show the prosecutor and judge that they should not make general assumptions about your reputation because of the DUI charges. Your personal history (resume, community service, etc.), lack of previous record, and third-party letters attesting to your good character are important components of your defense.

In the event that a DUI conviction is unavoidable, our experienced San Diego DUI attorneys will negotiate for alternatives to jail time, which may include alcohol rehabilitation treatment and community service hours. Our first priority is to protect our client's freedom.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
I can't begin to thank Mr. Hoffman enough for his extensive efforts throughout the entire case. He went absolutely above and beyond throughout the entire process. From day one he was immediately actively pursuing ways to prevent my case from ever going to court and once that was no longer an option, actively began working on getting the case ultimately dismissed. His communication was consistent and reassuring, despite my frantic worries all the time... Micaiah Botts
★★★★★
My family and I simply owe our life and future to Ron Hoffman. If you are looking for a lawyer that goes above and beyond the call of duty you can't find a better lawyer than Ron. He took my case head on from the moment I called his office. I was involved in an accidental hit and run where I was unaware of the injury. Every step of the way, Ron guided me through an almost two year long investigation and court settlement process and was constantly by my side through out every crossroad... Bill Martin
★★★★★
Ron Hoffman and his staff were Fantastic when dealing with such a serious issue of DUI. When I first Called Ron I was very nervous and worried for my daughter and her freedom. She had a failure to appear on top of her DUI and I knew just how bad this could be. Ron was able to immediately put me at ease and gave me the confidence that there was hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. Ron was able to get the failure to appear dismissed and also no jail time for my daughter... Claude Brown

I had a DUI issue recently. I have never had a problem with the law as serious as this one. I did panic a bit after and knew I had to get a lawyer to help my future. I researched the Web and read the reviews for awesome DUI Lawyers. Hiring a lawyer can be intimidating. Ron's 30 years experience and step by step guidance helped me with my case. Jonie was amazing with keeping me calm. Ron Hoffman is a great lawyer and I would refer any friends or family to him... Manuel Gomez
★★★★★
Ron was so accommodating and professional. With a Firm like his you wouldn't expect him to be as accessible, but he immediately returned phone calls, was easy to communicate with and was very sympathetic to my situation. He went above and beyond and was able to get a better result than I'd hoped or expected. I highly recommend Ron Hoffman and his firm. He made a difficult and anxiety fueled process bearable and made me feel safe. He is a lovely man. One does not wish to need a criminal attorney, but if you do need one, Ron's the guy to call... Teri A.

Ron and his team were the perfect pairing for what I needed taken care of. Every step of the way he was extremely helpful and informative (not his first rodeo). His work ethic and attitude were exemplary and it showed with the results of using his services. I would recommend anyone I know to give Ron a call if they need help in his realm of expertise. Many thanks Ron and associates!... Donald N.

I hate lawyers. They are hard to get a hold of, greedy and unreliable. Ron is the opposite of all these things. He deserves 6 stars, and I very much recommend him. He helped me through my case with nothing but kindness, understanding, and knowledge and eventually got it dropped. Thanks for everything Ron!... Avi Z.
