Isgitt, Percy L.

I am a criminal defense lawyer who specializes in defending people charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Southern California, particularly Orange County, California.

I began my career with the Law Offices of Barry T. Simons in 2000. I am a Contributing Editor to the two volume treatise: California Drunk Driving Law, often considered the "Bible of Drunk Driving Law" in the State of California. I write and speak extensively on DMV APS hearings, writs and appeals, search and seizure, interstate driver's license consequences and DUI Drugs.

I am a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD), California DUI Lawyer's Association (CDLA), California Association for Criminal Justice (CACJ) and Orange County Bar Association (OCBA). As a member of these organizations, I've received specialized training in the defense of those charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI). I am certified by NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), on the proper administration of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFST). I am certified on the Alco-Sensor IV Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) Test device. This training is imperative to my ability to defend those charged with DUI. It is used extensively in the cross-examination of officers and forensic scientists in court and at DMV APS Hearings.

I have also received extensive training and instruction in the area of DUI Drugs, a new arena in DUI defense in light of the increasing rate of those being charged with DUI after consuming their prescription medications. I have received Drug Recognition Expert instruction and served as an expert panelist for a seminar sponsored by the O.C. (Orange County) Crime Laboratory and the California Association of Toxicologists, entitled: DUI Drugs, Says Who? held in Anaheim, California.
