Under California law, you may refuse a Field Sobriety test, but are not entitled to consult with an attorney before taking them. This could work to your advantage depending upon the circumstances of your drinking. It could also work against you. You must make a decision to either take the test or refuse. You must decide immediately with or without your attorney present. Unless the attorney was riding with you, you will likely have to make the decision without their advice. You do not have the right to a change of heart if you should refuse and later decide that you don't want your license suspended for that refusal. In the state's eyes, the decision is made. If you are being transported to the facility to have your blood tested then you will gain some time to decide. The information contained in this message is general and should not substitute for the advice and counsel of a licensed attorney.
