Westchester County, New York, DWI Attorneys Challenging Breathalyzer Testing and Results
Charged with DUI or another serious criminal offense? Call the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, for experienced, skilled and aggressive representation on your behalf.
Breathalyzer testing is anything but a simple process. Following the initial stop, you may be frightened and confused. That confusion could result in you inadvertently giving up your rights. At the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel in White Plains, New York, we help clients understand Breathalyzer testing and the rights that they have.
Confusion in Breath Tests
Breath tests actually occur twice with two different instruments. The Alco-Sensor that is used on the scene is, at best, an unscientific reading of your blood alcohol content. This often leads to an unintentional refusal and confusion for clients who believed that they had already taken a Breathalyzer at the scene when in fact they had not done so. Questioning the officer or offering the slightest objection based on an assumption that you were already tested could result in a charge of refusal. That can mean revocation of your license and an automatic administrative license hearing.
At the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, we understand confusion can exist during a chaotic time. When the arresting police officer fails to educate you on the fact that there are not just one but two breath tests, you risk running afoul of the law. That is why you need aggressive advocacy from an experienced DUI attorney.
Fallibility of Breathalyzer Tests
Our office does not automatically accept that Breathalyzer tests at the police station are infallible. For example, improper calibration of the Breathalyzer can result in inaccurate readings. Those errors resulting in failure of a breath test can cause significant strife for you, affecting both your professional and personal life. Jobs can be lost. Licenses can be revoked. Insurance rates could climb to unaffordable levels. This is another reason why you need the seasoned, skilled and aggressive representation that our office provides.
