What Percentage of DUI Cases Get Dismissed in California?

California's combined DUI dismissal and acquittal rates range from 20% to 30% over the last ten years. In Los Angeles, there is about a 50% chance of getting a DUI dismissed if any technical errors can be found. 

Can a First Time DUi Be Dismissed in California?

Yes, it is possible to have a first-time DUI offense dismissed in California. However, it can be practically impossible without an attorney. 

To get your DUI charges dismissed, you must: 

• Plead not guilty
• Discredit the DUI arrest
• Prove that the BAC results are unreliable
• Ensure that the blood test is done in a safe and sterile environment

Reasons for a DUI dismissal: 

• The methods for collecting evidence
• How long an officer views an individual that they suspect is under the influence
• Lack of sufficient evidence against you
• The arrest was unlawful, or evidence was gathered illegally
