Your California drunk driving arrest generates two separate cases – in court and at the DMV – and the skilled Bay Area DUI attorneys of The Kavinoky Law Firm have the knowledge and resources needed to effectively fight both cases. Our dedicated DMV Unit includes a former DMV hearing officer available for consultation and a team of professionals with a stellar record of obtaining set-asides – meaning that drivers are allowed to keep their licenses – for our clients.
We bring that same dedication and expertise to fighting your court case. Our Bay Area DUI lawyers undergo extraordinary training in the art of drunk driving defense. All of our attorneys are certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and PAS (preliminary alcohol screening) testing as well as being certified operators and technicians on a variety of other breath-testing equipment. Darren is a certified instructor of standardized field sobriety testing, which means he’s qualified to teach police officers how to perform these tests. And Darren has completed the prestigious National College for DUI Defense course offered annually at Harvard University six times.
