Breath and Blood Tests & DUI

A breath test or blood test will play an important role in any driver's Miami, Florida DUI case. This chemical test will be the means in which law enforcement will attempt to prove that you were driving under the influence; that is, with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. This is the primary way law enforcement and the prosecution will attempt to secure a conviction against you.

Having a Miami DUI lawyer who is experienced and aggressive will be important to successfully counteracting your criminal charges. Although you may have taken a breath test or blood test or may have even refused testing altogether, you have the opportunity to challenge the suspension of your driver's license at your DMV hearing and also to challenge your criminal charges in court. An attorney who understands the ins and outs of Florida's court system and drunk driving laws and procedure will be able to build a strong defense strategy on your behalf to assist you in reaching a positive case result not just in court but at your license suspension hearing as well.

DUI Defense for Breath Tests and Blood Tests

It is impossible for a breath or blood test to be 100% accurate, and breath tests in particular are notorious for their many faults. Each person's metabolism, body temperature, weight, health, and other physical issues combine to create a unique profile that may be affected differently by alcohol and which may result in different outcomes on a breath test or blood test, no matter how slight or considerable. An error in the manner in which a breath or blood test is administered or how a blood sample is handled may also impact the outcome of a test. An improperly calibrated or maintained breath test machine may actually be grounds to dismiss breath or blood test results altogether.
