Question: Can I get charged with DUI if police pulled me over for a traffic violation? The arrest took place in Encino, CA

Answer: Yes, and usually, the traffic violation is the reason that people get pulled over for DUI. Keep in mind that sometimes officers claim there is a traffic violation, but sometimes there was not. When that can be exposed, then it is a valid defense showing that the officers lacked probable cause to pull you over, and it is possible to get the case dismissed. Feel free to contact me through www.philhachelaw.com if you would like to discuss your case in more detail. Lack of Probable cause is the first line of many potential defenses in DUI cases.
