Blood/ Urine Tests
Westchester County Criminal Defense Attorneys Investigating Blood and Urine Test Results
Charged with DWI or another serious criminal offense? Call the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, for experienced, skilled and aggressive representation on your behalf.
Being arrested for a DWI is unsettling. Submitting to urine or blood alcohol testing makes the experience even more frightening. At the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel in White Plains, New York, we defend clients charged with drunk driving. We carefully evaluate and examine how blood, urine, and other scientific evidence was collected and analyzed, as well as evaluating the experience of the police officials performing these tests. This can result in a challenge to the accuracy of blood and urine tests, including the administration of the testing.
Your Right to Refuse Urine or Blood Alcohol Testing
While you have the right to refuse a blood or urine test to determine blood alcohol content (BAC), there are consequences. Those consequences include revocation of your license and a scheduled administrative license hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles. At the Law Office of Mark A. Siesel, we have clients who were never given the option to refuse. Testing was demanded or forced upon them.
Challenging Urine or Blood Alcohol Testing
While blood and urine results are difficult to challenge, proper police procedure must be followed. The initial administration to the chain of custody in handling the blood or urine samples must be done with great care and attention to detail. That initial administration must be requested, not forced, coerced or even threatened. You have rights and we will help protect those rights.
