Challenging a Breath Test

Attorney for Denver DUI Charges

There is a common misconception that if you take a breath test and fail, you will face DUI charges and will be convicted. What many drivers throughout Denver do not know is that there are successful strategies that can be employed in challenging breath test results. As with any part of an investigation and the gathering of evidence in a criminal case, law enforcement must follow specific procedure and must not violate an arrestee's Constitutional rights. Any mistake or violation, no matter how small, may give your DUI defense lawyer the opportunity to successfully challenge your breath test and help you avoid administrative license suspension and a criminal conviction for drunk driving.

The science surrounding breath tests and blood tests is highly technical. There is also much that an attorney must know about the correct procedures surrounding these tests, and Denver DUI attorney Christopher Cessna has the proper training, knowledge and experience to properly approach breath and blood test defense. He has extensive DUI education training and certificates, giving him an edge over other drunk driving lawyers who may claim to be able to help you challenge your charges.

Denver Breath Test Defense Lawyer

In challenging the outcome of a breath test, a lawyer may be able to bring up important issues about the officer's administration of the test. For example, the officer may not have been trained in administering breath tests or may have made a mistake when administering the test. There may have also been a problem with the breathalyzer machine itself, such as improper calibration or maintenance, or radio interference. Conducting a complete evaluation of your particular test will offer your attorney the best opportunity to challenge your breathalyzer test results.
