Donald Gray Drewry

Donald Gray Drewry has successfully defended Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases for over 21 years. Mr. Drewry handles both Misdemeanor and Felony DUI cases for alcohol and drugs. He is a published author and instructs other criminal defense lawyers about how to defend DUI cases in California and other jurisdictions.

He has a deep understanding of blood analysis and how samples can become contaminated in government labs. Blood samples, as it turns out, are often mishandled or tested improperly. A recent decision in San Jose set a landmark precedent for the inadmissibility of forced blood samples.

Mr. Drewry has been a former Reserve Police Officer, a Solo Officer with the Hayward Police Department, so he understands objective signs of intoxication that the arresting officer will try to use against you. As a Police Officer, Mr. Drewry arrested people for DUI after administering Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs).

In addition to the training Mr. Drewry received for FSTs to work as a Solo Officer, he has attended the Federal Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) course and successfully completed that course in 2003 through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Mr. Drewry was then accepted to the Instructor’s Course in 2006, and graduated first in his class in the solo division, and is a Qualified National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Instructor.

Mr. Drewry has also been trained not only in the use of the Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) devise, (that is the roadside breath testing machine), but he also is a PAS Coordinator which allows him to do the accuracy and calibration checks on the PAS device, and he owns and operates one.

This is a test that you should never take unless you are on probation and required to do so. Mr. Drewry recommends that you only take a blood test and never any breath testing of any kind.

Mr. Drewry believes in one very important principal for every client he handles. That principle is do the very best you can for each client. Get the evidence, review the law, compare the client’s statements, and find the best resolution possible.

No one is perfect, but he has a lot of satisfied clients, and never stops working to help them with their cases. When you meet Mr. Drewry, you will see why so many have hired him to represent them.
