Gainesville DUI Lawyers

Blood Alcohol Test Defense Attorneys in Florida

When a driver is pulled over for suspected driving under the influence (DUI), the law enforcement officer will likely administer field sobriety tests in an effort to determine whether the driver's abilities may be impaired. If the officer has reason to believe the driver may be intoxicated, he/she may arrest the driver and ask him/her to submit to a breath or blood alcohol test. The officer will want to use the results of this test to prove intoxication.

Breath and blood alcohol tests are used to determine the amount of alcohol a person has in his/her system, and blood alcohol test results are given in percentages.  If a person has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher, he or she is believed to be DUI and will face drunk driving charges. A driver may face enhanced penalties for a BAC which is far over the legal limit, such as .20% or .16%.

A skilled Gainesville DUI attorney will understand that breath and blood tests are not always accurate in determining a person's blood alcohol level. At the Uman Law Firm, our attorneys fight aggressively to contest the results of a blood alcohol test and prove that a client was not in fact legally intoxicated.

There are numerous reasons why a person’s blood alcohol test may be inaccurate.  In the past year, our Gainesville DUI lawyers have found that our clients’ blood alcohol tests were wrong for a variety of reasons, such as improper test administration and faulty testing devices.  Therefore, we believe blood alcohol test are not enough to conclude a person was driving under the influence, and your Gainesville DUI lawyer at our firm will prove that in court.
