Successfully Challenging a Blood Alcohol Test
Many people who are arrested for DUI have the mistaken belief that a blood alcohol test reading over .08% makes a DUI conviction a certainty. This is not necessarily true. There are many grounds on which to challenge blood alcohol tests and other aspects of a case. These could result in a dismissal of the charge, a reduction in the charge, or an outright victory at trial.
Rosenthal & Heymann, LLC has successfully represented numerous clients in DUI and DWAI cases. In representing its clients, the firm's attorneys look at all aspects of the situation, including the stop and arrest, the blood alcohol test, and other physiological and legal factors.

Errors in the BAC Testing Process
While the equipment and procedures used to measure blood alcohol content (BAC) have improved greatly in recent years, any given test may have fatal flaws that render its results invalid.
There are many ways to successfully fight the results of the blood or breath test:
- The breath testing machine may not be properly calibrated or in good working order.
- The operator of the machine may not be properly trained or may fail to follow the correct testing procedures. (There are literally hundreds of procedures that must be followed.)
- Blood test samples may not be properly stored or the results may not be correctly interpreted.
- Various physiological or biological factors may produce an erroneous result.
