Ê I'm Sure I Wasn't Drunk - Challenging the Evidence Breathalyzers, like any machine or technology, are not fool proof. Depending on whether the breathalyzer used was maintenanced regularly, calibrated, and used properly, the results obtained in the field can be inaccurate. Request a copy of the history and maintenance of a breathalyzer to determine if there is good reason to suspect its readings were wrong. Additionally, when a blood test is given, we ask that an independent lab conduct its own test on whatever samples were collected from our client. Since blood test kits involve the use of preservatives, vacuum tubes, and a proper mixture of the sample, there is a chance the sample collected from you was tainted or cannot be trusted.

If you fail to respond appropriately or in a timely manner, your DWI charge will result in an automatic suspension of your license.

You do not deserve such a severe punishment, and, depending on your case, a good lawyer can get you an alternative penalty or get you freed entirely.
