Ventura DUI with Drugs Lawyer
DUI Charges Involving Drugs & Medication
A DUI involving drugs or medications can be a very complicated case, but there is hope in such a case. The evidence for a DUI involving drugs only — as opposed to drugs and alcohol — often involves arbitrary decisions and observations made by the arresting officer or other law enforcement official. When you are facing these serious charges, our Ventura DUI lawyer may be able to help you get this evidence thrown out of the case.
Various defenses could include, but are not limited to:
- Non-standard procedures
- Inaccurate or unfounded observations
- Mistakes and errors made in blood test analysis

An individual can be arrested for and charged with DUI involving drugs if a law enforcement officer feels that any kind of drug has impaired the driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely. The officer must have just cause for pulling someone over such as observing the car swerve, drift, or make jerky, uncontrolled maneuvers.
A variety of drugs can result in DUI drug arrests and do not only pertain to illicit street drugs or illegal drugs. While drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, or heroin can result in a DUI drugs charge, even over-the-counter drugs like cough medicine may be argued to have impaired the driver. In fact, drugs legally prescribed by your doctor (prescription drugs) can be used by prosecutors to say that you were impaired.
