In any event, the remedy is to toss your statements, but usually these cases aren't prosecuted on your statements, but on the objective evidence like FSTs and chemical tests.

Yes. You absolutely DO have a fighting chance. However, you need an experienced DUI lawyer working for you ASAP. You say that you "passed" all the field sobriety tests. The police testify that these tests are not "pass or fail." They just use their judgement to decide whether or not they suggest impairment. As a NHTSA certified standardized field sobriety test instructor, I can tell you that there are supposed to be objective criteria called "clues" that the police are supposed to document however, they often administer and evaluate these tests wrong. On a borderline case like yours, attacking the field sobriety tests could be very important. However, there may be even more areas of attack. Only a skilled, experienced, DUI lawyer like most of the ones from the California DUI Lawyers Assoc can work to get you the best possible result. Most of us give a free consultation.
