DUI - DWI - Drunk Driving

Seth P. Chazin has successfully represented clients in well over one thousand DUI and Drunk-driving defense cases and several hundred DMV hearing matters. He has obtained many dismissals or reduced charges as a result of his aggressive, diligent efforts in behalf of his clients in both felony and misdemeanor DUI and drunk-driving cases. Mr. Chazin has had a VERY HIGH rate of success in DMV hearings. As a lawyer, Mr. Chazin has developed a successful, organized strategy for defending his clients in these cases. A corner-stone of his strategic defense is to employ the services of a forensic toxicologist to analyze the many technical aspects of a DUI or Drunk-driving case. If any technical defense exists, it will be discovered through this thorough, state-of-the-art approach to defending DUI and Drunk-driving cases.

We almost always employ the services of an experienced forensic toxicologist. We use the toxicologist to assist us in uncovering any possible defense to the charges. Many people are not aware that DUI's are VERY technical and that there are many defenses that are scientifically based. The toxicologist has the knowledge, skill and expertise to uncover any such defense. Our unique approach is well-tested and has been successful in numerous cases.

Mr. Chazin also has developed various strategies to creatively defend his clients in these areas including employing investigators, other forensic experts, extensive discovery requests and detailed analysis of the case.

DUI - CASE DISMISSED - all charges were dismissed in client's DUI case in Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, California, despite fact that two witnesses allegedly saw the client driving his car while under the influence of alcohol. Again, investigation and important fact gathering and an aggressive approach with the district attorney resulted in the DA dismissing all charges. NOTE: CLIENT'S BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS TESTED AT .37!!

Alleged Vehicular Manslaughter - NO CHARGES FILED.

DUI charges dismissed after re-testing of the sample indicated a .07% blood alcohol content rather than the .08% indicated by the police lab.

An elderly woman whose driver’s license was revoked on the basis of temporarily-prescribed medications (in spite of her good driving record) was repeatedly refused review by the DMV, even after she obtained a full favorable report from her hospital proving that her reflexes, response times, and overall physical condition were more than adequate for the operation of a motor vehicle.  Intervention by Seth P. Chazin succeeded in getting her driving privileges restored, even where efforts of elected state representatives had failed.
