Challenging the Results of Blood Tests and Breathalyzers
Were you aware that you could be charged with two DUI crimes following an arrest? The increasing severity of ever-changing DUI laws requires that you retain seasoned and experienced legal counsel. You will find that kind of advocacy at the law office of attorney James S. Sweeney in Mission Viejo, California.
Facing Multiple DUI Charges
At the law office of James S. Sweeney, we represent clients charged with driving under the influence. That charge is based on objective symptoms observed by the officer during a field sobriety test. In addition, clients can be charged with DUI per se for a blood or Breathalyzer test that shows a .08 blood alcohol content (BAC).
That two-pronged approach serves as a "catch-all" and makes it easier for prosecutors to convict and more challenging for DUI lawyers to defend. However, James S. Sweeney, the founder of our firm, has in-depth knowledge of the DUI laws and is well-prepared to mount a vigorous and aggressive defense against your charges.
Police officers and prosecutors are aggressive in building their case against you. You need to counter that aggression with a longtime criminal defense attorney at your side. Contact us online immediately or call us at 949-582-0022.
Challenging Blood and Breathalyzer Tests
Refusing the Breathalyzer or blood test is not a wise option. You could lose your license for one year on a first offense and two years on the second. Chemical testing can be challenged based on various factors, however. A poorly calibrated or maintained Breathalyzer can provide inaccurate results. Blood samples not accounted for in the chain of custody raises the specter of reasonable doubt.
