Breath & Blood Tests

When one has been pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence, they are usually subjected to a breath or blood test to determine the level of alcohol present in the blood.  This is ordinarily done with a breathalyzer test, or a blood test that is administered at the police facility.  Many of these tests are administered incorrectly, and the results could be seriously flawed.  If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI of any type, and were administered a breath or blood test, it is crucial that you immediately contact a Phoenix DUI defense lawyer.  Attorney James Novak has successfully challenged the results of breath tests or blood tests in court when defending DUI cases.

The breath test is particularly open to challenge, as there are so many variables involved in a breath test.  For example, the test itself may have been administered in correctly.  It is very possible that the testing equipment being used has a history of faulty readings.  Getting the history of the specific device used could be critical to the defense of your case.  These testing devices must be correctly maintained and calibrated on a specific schedule in order to produce correct readings.  They often have not been maintained properly and the readings could be incorrect.  These breathalyzer devices have their own inherent degree of error as well as the other problems that could be present in relation to your specific test.  Attorney James Novak will seek out any possible flaw or error in the testing equipment that could assist in the defense of the client.

With blood testing, there are many errors that could take place when blood testing is done.  The chain of custody of the blood can be challenged, as well as the procedure used by the technician taking the blood.  There are often errors in the procedure and the testing results can be vigorously challenged in court.  When such court challenges are successful, the evidence will not be allowed, and in many cases the charges are dismissed immediately.  It makes a difference who you choose to represent you – experience counts.  Attorney James Novak will provide a superior defense and a complete commitment to your case.
