What are the chances of my case getting dismissed if my attorney stated that he got my discovery with .08 BAC level?

Getting your case dismissed is slim at best, but a plea bargain to a wet or dry reckless may be possible.

Can I get a public drunkenness citation because I walked away from the police?

Answered by attorney Gary A. Russell (Unclaimed Profile)

If you were on your private property, you were not in "public" and could not be successfully prosecuted for such a charge.

Is there a time limit on how long a police officer keeps your blood sample for a DUI, before he takes the sample to a lab?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
78 days is an extremely long time to keep sample prior to testing. Not sure what county your case is in, but that would be very unusual in l.a. county. Hire an attorney. In my opinion, increased chance that sample was compromised and can be challenged or potentially suppressed. Particularly if not refrigerated or preservative issue. Can't imagine that waiting 78 days to test blood is normal procedure.
