Breathalyzer Tests

Birmingham Breath Test and Breathalyzer Attorney

  • Do you feel you were not legally drunk but blew a .08 or more into a Breathalyzer?
  • Was the breath test administered properly?
  • Do you need an experienced DUI attorney to challenge the Breathalyzer administration and results?

The assumption that Breathalyzers are always accurate leads many arrested for DUI for a blood alcohol content (BAC) of over 0.08 to plead guilty immediately. At the Eversole Law Firm in Birmingham, Alabama, we have successfully handled cases where breath test results were in dispute.

Proper Operation of a Breathalyzer

Operation of a Breathalyzer must be done by a competent, qualified and highly trained member of law enforcement. That police officer must take specific steps in preparing the Breathalyzer and administering the tests. The smallest mistake could mean the difference between you being convicted of a DUI or found not guilty.

Proper Maintenance of a Breathalyzer

Breathalyzers must also be properly maintained and calibrated to show an accurate BAC. Failure to do so can result in you being falsely accused of driving while intoxicated. Just as you have a responsibility to follow the law, the police department has a responsibility to ensure that their process and investigation accurately shows a violation of the law.

Disputing Breath Test Results

At the Eversole Law Firm, we have successfully disputed many Breathalyzer results on behalf of our clients. We put the questions to the arresting officer on his or her experience with Breathalyzer testing, the training he or she received and the methods he or she used on the night of your arrest. We need to get to the facts about what could be inaccurate data from a machine.
