If your blood test are above the legal limit don't think the prosecutor has the case won. We are the DUI defense team of A. Scott Grabel & Associates, with offices across Michigan. Under the leadership of attorney Scott Grabel, our team aggressively challenges every aspect of a DUI arrest. Our team has an excellent success rate having charges dismissed or reduced, even in the face of evidence that may seem overwhelming on the surface.
A blood test is recognized by many law enforcement agencies and legal authorities as the preferred method of measuring the blood alcohol content of an individual accused of drunk driving (0.08 BAC and over). Unfortunately, these tests have proven unreliable in many cases due to improper administration, excessive time delay and conflicts between police and hospital blood test methods and procedures.
We employ the latest technology and the combined knowledge of experts in toxicology and pharmacokinetics to challenge hospital or police blood test evidence scientifically. We can also explain in court the serious conflicts between standard hospital practice for obtaining blood samples and the legal requirements for a valid police blood test.
It is standard hospital practice to swab the skin with alcohol prior to drawing blood for a test. This can contaminate the results and render the evidence invalid. Also, due to lengthy waiting times at many Michigan hospitals, the blood test often fails to take into account post-driving alcohol absorption.
