Michigan Breathalyzer Test Attorney

Challenging Breath Test Evidence and Providing Counsel on DUI Test Refusals in Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Throughout Michigan

If You Failed Your Breath Test

Don't despair if you failed your initial BAC breath test. Police personnel often administer the test incorrectly, or the machines are improperly calibrated. Michigan law makes it clear that breath tests must be administered under the most precise conditions. If there are any deviances from standing procedures — ANY deviances — you may have a valid challenge to the test results.

If You Refused to Take a Breath Test

It may sound as if you don't have a choice whether to take the breath test at the scene of the traffic stop or at the police station. It's a tough call whether to submit to the test. After all, most of us are raised to respect the law and the police officers. The police will try to scare you with threats of suspending your license, but you have rights. The truth is, if you refuse to take a breath test, it may weaken the state's case against you.

DUI Defense Attorneys Challenging Breath Test Results

Breath tests are a notoriously unreliable way of measuring blood alcohol content. Field breathalyzers or PBT's (Preliminary Breath Test) are often miscalibrated and not all police officers are sufficiently trained to use them correctly. A breath test machine at the police station may be more accurate, but there can be serious problems because post-arrest alcohol absorption can distort the results.

Refusing to take a breath test or a blood test to determine blood alcohol content can result in a one-year driver's license suspension. We can help you regain your driving privileges, even after a breath test refusal, by preparing a convincing petition to the appropriate circuit court.
